[nabs-l] linkedin

[Greg Aikens]

Hi there,
LinkedIN is tough using any configuration because the interface is so cluttered. My sighted colleagues say the same. Maybe try using Chrome. I had good success recently with Chrome. Also, try the mobile app. It is less cluttered than the desktop site. I have no idea if it has all the features you need and it has been a while since I tested the accessibility, but it worked last time I tried. 

Hope this helps.

I would need to use Linkedin to search for current companies for their new business development.  I have a Linkedin profile, but I could never get JAWS to work well with it.  I was using Firefox as they recommend and am using the latest version of JAWS, but for some reason JAWS was skipping over the search filters I would need to use to perform the project.  My supervisor told me that this is not an immediate project, but the marketing department approached him with this and wanted to know if I would be able to do it.  He understood that it may not work, but I told him that I would do some research on this and get back to him.  Therefore, does anyone use Linkedin with JAWS and if so, how do you navigate through all the clutter on their website? As far as I can tell, they don't have a mobile site, but I could be wrong.  Does Nvda handle Linkedin better than JAWS? If anyone uses Linkedin with either screen reader, please feel free to write me offlist at piano.girl0299 at gmail.com with some suggestions on how to efficiently navigate through Linkedin.
