[Electronics-talk] nvda screen reader

[Steve Jacobson]

No screen reader works with any browser because some browsers are not accessible.  Internet Explorer and FireFox are the two that have the most 
accessibility.  To my knowledge, Google Chrome is not accessible although there is talk that work is being done.  Opera is somewhat accessible as I 
understand it but I have not tried it.  This discussion should really happen on GUI-Talk, though.  You would also find those there who have done more 
experimenting and might have more hard facts than I do.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson
