[blindLaw] Experience with NetDocs

[James Fetter]

I have used NetDocs, and although it is largely accessible, there are some issues you should keep in mind. First and foremost, the search fields are not properly or completely labeled. There is a search field that jaws labels as “everything”, which, as the invisible (to us) description makes clear, searches the contents as well as the names of files. As I recall, there are other search features that are not fully accessible with jaws. I would highly recommend asking your firm’s tech department to walk you through the process of finding and searching for documents early on in your internship. I am happy to discuss further off list, if you would like.
