I received an Google Voice invitation as well. I was excited to try their
service! However, I screwed up during the sign up process! Their WebPages
are difficult to activate links, radio buttons, and buttons with JAWS. I am
using JAWS 10.0.512. Perhaps, the latest version will work better with
these controls. I got to the page where you can select a phone number from
a list. I entered my area code and it presents a list of available numbers.
Each number has a radio button before the number. Most of the controls on
the page are not recognized by JAWS. I don't know if they are buttons or
links. Pressing Enter on the word may activate it anyway. In my case, I
picked a number and attempted to activate the button to go to the next page.
Nothing would activate it. So I unloaded JAWS and started up System Access
To Go. SAtoGo did even worse with the page. It could not even recognize
that there were radio buttons in front of the phone numbers. This is where
I made a fatal mistake. I attempted to shut down System Access. My
computer went from sluggish to the point that pressing Windows + m, would
not go to the desktop even after 30 minutes. At that point, pressing Alt +
Control + Delete would not work, so I had to hold down the power button to
shut down. After I restarted, I attempted to sign up again, but the
invitation was no longer valid! Who knows if I will get another chance.
So my conclusion is to complete the entire sign in process exclusively using
the latest version of JAWS 10! I have heard that others have done so
successfully with some difficulty.
Good luck!
