Hi David.
most windows screen reader users use one of three programs. jaws, window
eyes or hal (what I use).
these days though, web navigation is such a fairly standardized business,
your only likely to run into trouble access wise if your websites include
none standard controls, flash, funny java aps or similar.
bog standard text and links with labled images isn't likely to cause
trouble, and certainly i noticed nothing when brouser the site myself.
Beware the Grue!
Dark.

Subject: [Audyssey] Windows screen reader software?
Hi folks,
My apologies if I bring up a question that has already been discussed to
death, but I don't see anything about this in a casual browsing of the
archives.
At first I thought I didn't have any screen reader software, so I couldn't
test the accessibility of my RSW website directly. But then I realized
that every Mac has VoiceOver built-in, and it's quite nice! I've been
going through my web pages with VoiceOver, and I've found a number of
minor issues that I'll be correcting.
But I'd hate to fine-tune my pages to VoiceOver's quirks only, without
knowing about similar quirks in other software. In particular, what do
Windows users typically use to browse the web? I see that Narrator is
built-in to Windows, but it's almost unusable. Even Narrator itself
recommends users buy a third-party program instead.
So, if I were to purchase one such third-party program for the purpose of
testing my website's accessibility under Windows, which program should it
be?
Thanks!
David
