With my most advanced router commands I typically can get most parts to work, but it is really imaged based as in images of words not text itself so jaws or WE or any talking software will fail to find it or talk it. If the teachers load to google docs or send an email link to google docs it will open in an image and you can't even copy and paste to word or find a way to extract the text to read it. Your children will be very frustrated with it
