[blindLaw] Is ExamSoft still inaccessible?

[James Fetter]

That’s great, but that approach will not work for state-specific components administered remotely. Fingers crossed that it is accessible enough to get through 25 multiple choice questions, which is all it needs to do in my case.

I found that the app, in other words, the interface with examplify was minimally usable/navigable with JAWS. It seemed that tab and shift tab did not do what I expected. Meaning, they did not take me between regions of the window. Perhaps with some training beforehand, I could’ve made it work better. So I would say that, perhaps exemplify is technically accessible, but not necessarily user friendly.
