[humanser] CItation managers and Jaws or NVDA

[Miranda B.]

Hi,
My husband and I use Perrla with JAWS. Although you need to use the JAWS
cursor when using the functions of the citation manager itself, everything
is normal Microsoft Word functionality. You're only using Perrla for
reference management, formatting, and creating essay stubs.
I hope this helps, and have a wonderful weekend!

Best wishes, Miranda

Hello Kaiti,
Unfortunately, both Mendeley and Zotero are not accessible with screen
readers. I am using Endnote, it is not fully accessible as well. For example
sometimes it recognize a book chapter as an article. Then you cannot change
the type and add the missing information. But it is still better than doing
all the work by hand. One of my friends is using ref work, I am not sure if
it is better than endnote or not.
If you like to see how it is working you can download a 1month trial version
of Endnote. If you like to call, I can demonstrate how  it works with JAWS
as well.
Sometimes schools can provide free copies or discounts, check with your
school.
Or if you know how to use latex, it is accessible, I tried to learn but I
was not very insisting to learn it.
Warmly
Deniz
