[Diabetes-talk] Prodigy Voice

[Bernadette Jacobs]

Pardon the pun gang! Let's not sugar-coat things here.  The software doesn't just have issues. It is simply not accessible to jaws or with any other screen reader!! That's the way it is. That's the way it always has been. I work for prodigy for four years and that was my biggest complaint with them.
