I have to use calendars in Sharepoint. I am not sure which Sharepoint version it is. The calendars are only mostly accessible if you can turn on the mobile/accessibility feature first. I can schedule and edit events this way, but I cannot delete calendar entries in this mode.
I have also checked files in and out of Sharepoint with mixed results. Sometimes I get the file changed and put back successfully, and sometimes not. I second what others have said: it takes luck.

It is really dependent on how the developer of the page has set up the page and what features they have elected to use. Some SharePoint features are just not accessible. SharePoint 2010 has some significant improvements, but again a lot is dependent on the developer. I agree, that luck is what you will most likely need when dealing with SharePoint.

However, how accessible it is depends on what kinds of information you're trying to access and what views are employed by whoever created the site and the documents themselves. I'm currently working through a situation where JAWS absolutely does not present major pieces of pages I need to access on a regular basis. I've spoken to Freedom Scientific about SharePoint, and they understand it has accessibility problems but claim they can't address them. So, bottom line is maybe it'll work for you, maybe it won't. Sometimes, you can export spreadsheets etc. and work on them using something like Excel, then import them back into SharePoint. Good luck, you'll likely need a lot of it. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Hicks Steven (CORNWALL IT SERVICES) Sent: Wednesday, March 27, 2013 3:38 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [JAWS-Users] Microsoft Sharepoint Does anyone use Microsoft Sharepoint with JAWS that can tell me if it is accessible or not please?
