[humanser] CItation managers and Jaws or NVDA

[Deniz Aydemir Döke]

Hello Kaiti,
Unfortunately, both Mendeley and Zotero are not accessible with screen
readers. I am using Endnote, it is not fully accessible as well. For
example sometimes it recognize a book chapter as an article. Then you
cannot change the type and add the missing information. But it is
still better than doing all the work by hand. One of my friends is
using ref work, I am not sure if it is better than endnote or not.
If you like to see how it is working you can download a 1month trial
version of Endnote. If you like to call, I can demonstrate how  it
works with JAWS as well.
Sometimes schools can provide free copies or discounts, check with your school.
Or if you know how to use latex, it is accessible, I tried to learn
but I was not very insisting to learn it.
Warmly
Deniz
