[nfbcs] Read Write Gold

[Hyde, David W. (ESC)]

I have not considered NFDA, since the student is not familiar with the program. I understand it does not work with either Window Eyes or JAWS. The student does not currently use a braille display. On the other hand, even if it did work with NFDA, the test should measure the student's subject knowledge, not how well or poorly they can manipulate the screen reader. I will, of course, check its accessibility with as many programs as I can find. Thanks.

Have you considered other screen readers? such as WindowEyes or NVDA? Does the student have a braille display?
What type of data is displayed by the program?

I have a student who needs to use this educational program for college 
entry. I am told that it doesn't work with JAWS, and, because it is a linked 
program, they can't produce the questions in braille. Has anyone experience 
with this program, and can you offer solutions?
