[stylist] Writing Software

[Bridgit Kuenning-Pollpeter]

Bernadetta,

Can you describe the benefits of switching? Compare and contrast? How
different is system access from JAWS?

I'm probably just lazy, but I really am not great when learning new software
or technology. So to learn a new screenreader and program just sounds
exhausting, especially if I have to do it on my own, LOL!

Hello everyone,
I haven't written in to this list for quite a while; I'm sure some of you
here remember me from several years ago. Upon subscribing to this list
again, I'm excited to see this conversation about Scrivener.
I, like Bridgit, always prefered to use MS word for all of my writing work.
Recently, though, I checked out Scrivener and never went back to Word since.
I agree that it's less t Scrivener is less tedious when managing large
blocks of text and several drafts of one piece at one time. I've been using
it on my Windows 10 laptop with System Access as my screen reader. The
developers have some ways to go where accessibility is concerned, but this
program is definitely manageable and user-friendly when navigated with
System Access. Unfortunately, I've found that Jaws doesn't do a good job
with it at all.
Sarah and others, if you have any specific questions regarding Scrivener,
I'll be more than happpy to answer them to the best of my ability.

Best,

Bernadetta Pracon
