Overcoming the Potential Obstacles of Manual Testing with a Screen Reader
May 21st 2019 at 12:00 PM ET

Let's face it: screen reader testing is cumbersome. Without comprehensive
training (as well as expert level knowledge) of a desktop screen reader, the
process of performing manual screen reader compatibility tests can be
daunting and often riddled with headaches and missteps.

Join Larry Lewis, Director of Government Sales and Strategic Partnerships,
on May 21 at 12pm ET as he shows you how to make manual screen reader
accessibility testing fun, informative, and efficient!

This webinar will identify a number of barriers and difficulties that manual
accessibility testing pose to QA testers and developers. Larry will share
potential testing pitfalls and tips on how to avoid them, and he will
demonstrate a time and cost saving alternative for identifying, capturing,
sharing, and remediating usability defects within websites and web
applications - TPG's JAWS Inspect.

Don't miss your chance to learn how to make screen reader testing
significantly easier. Register here:
