[Electronics-talk] ACCESSIBLE TABLETS/NETBOOKS

[Christopher Chaltain]

JAWS doesn't run on Android. I was assuming the netbook would be running 
Windows, although you could go with a netbook running Linux and using 
Orca. It would be even snappier than a Windows based netbook.

Accessible tablets would be running IOS with VoiceOver or Android with 
Talk Back, unless you can run JAWS on a Surface Pro running Windows 8.
