[blindLaw] Accessibility of Ringtail and iManage

[Singh, Nandini]

Hi Abbey,

My firm has iManage desk cite with a random component integrated into Outlook. I am not sure if it is HTML-based. It is challenging to use, and I avoid it for most tasks. I am okay opening Word documents/links, reviewing the same, revising the same, and saving the same. The rest of the UI has led to an unpleasant experience using JAWS. My work arounds include liberally using paralegals, insisting on using local copies with team mates, and being organized with my own local drive.

I have not spent the time to get acquainted with Ringtail. Most matter teams usually opt for Relativity, so I do not think I can be too helpful. Ringtail is not great from what I have seen though. Work arounds include liberally using litigation support and paralegals, printing review sets to PDF, and keeping track of things with several careful emails with litigation support and the review team. It can be done. I am overseeing a document collection, review, and production right now in fact. I also understand that you can use Excel to do coding, which is clunky but again feasible. I doubt redactions would be possible, but I have not tried it on Ringtail. I had limited to no success with redactions on Relativity or Adobe.

Thanks,
Nikki

Hi all!

I have recently commenced a law graduate position and was keen to hear experiences that screenreader users have had with either iManage or Ringtail.
iManage: Do you use this in conjunction with Outlook or an HTML version? I prefer the HTML version however have noticed its limited functionality - do any of you have workarounds for this?
Ringtail: Has this been accessible for you? Is there any way to do redactions with a screenreader?

Thanks and kind regards,
Abbey
