I asked about this earlier and received no response. I couldn't read anything on the home screen with Window-Eyes. With JAWS, all I can read is a number of graphics labeled with numbers. Labeling these would either require sighted assistance or a lot of trial and error. I too would like serious help reading Sophos with JAWS. By the way, NVDA did a little better, but it was not perfect. -----Original Message----- From: Jared Rimer Sent: Thursday, June 01, 2017 9:02 PM To: JAWS-Users-List@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] antivirus question OK, I'm consoled with a couple of people, and Sophos is the vote recommended to me. Is there anything i need to keep in mind on using this with Jaws? On 5/31/2017 21:53, Thomas N.
