[Trainer-talk] Accessible Forms

Wed May 12 19:50:02 UTC 2010

I noticed in the original question, it referenced JAWS-accessible forms.  I'd like to expand on that question and insert "speech recognition software" accessible forms.  All too often, I find that people involved with accessibility (or "Section 508") here in the Fed government assume that if a document is designed for JAWS access (rather than generically screen reader access), they assume that nothing different or more needs to be done for speech-recognition accessibility.  As a user of Dragon Naturally Speaking myself, I find this is not at all the case.

I realize this is an NFB list, so I assume most discussion is from the vision perspective, but still amongst people who "get it." <smile>

Thanks!

Does anyone know of strategies, software, or training materials
available to teach individuals how to make JAWS accessible forms with
various form elements, i.e. radio buttons, combo boxes, text boxes, etc.
