[blindLaw] Does anyone have NVDA and JAWS on their computer

[Tai Tomasi]

I have both JAWS and NVDA on my computer. If you have one that is not confidential that does not read well with JAWS, I am happy to test it for you with NVDA to see if that would resolve your issue.

Hi,

Does anyone have both NVDA and JAWS on their computer? I have a ton of files to review that are pdfs. They are not very accessible. Words all run together without any spaces, for example.  And when I ask my assistant if she can tell what is accessible, or what I can or cannot read, she says NVDA reads all the stuff to her but I tell her JAWS won't read it.

Generally, I need JAWS because I need it to manage track changes and because I know all the editing keystrokes to check for font and color, etc. But for this particular project, I don't need track changes. I just need to read a ton of files and I don't have time to go through each one to tell my assistant why it is or is not accessible and how she should make it accessible.

Does anyone else have these kinds of issues? And does anyone else have NVDA and JAWS on their computer? I'm thinking of putting NVDA on just to read these files and see if they really are accessible with NVDA.

Shannon
