[Trainer-Talk] Accessibility of Outlook Web App with Jaws?

[David Goldfield]

Hi. I can tell you that the Outlook.com Web site is technically accessible with screen readers, although there are some things microsoft could do in order to make browsing through a mailbox easier. Specifically, the mailbox folder isn't presented as an HTML table, which can slow down the whole browsing experience. When I use Outlook.com, I usually press X to move from one checkbox to the next. This is an odd way to move from one message in the list to another message but each message has a checkbox which preceeds it. It also helps to go into the Group by settings and disable conversation view, unless you like viewing the list of messages as a thread.
