One problem with Jaws is that it will attempt to 'repair' bad HTML under the hood. For testing this masks errors in a site from developers such that Jaws might work ok but other screen readers are not as tolerant of bad code in a particular setup. VoiceOver on Mac and NVDA on Windows do not attempt to repair bad code and rely on developers doing the right thing to begin with. This philosophical difference means comparisons of compatibility between Jaws and any other screen reader/browser combo just isn't going to match.

I recently discribed to them the issue that VO quite often doesn't interact 
with a web page, despite the fact that it's checked in the the VO settings. 
They told me it depends on the web side not on VO. My impression is Safari is 
not built to support all the possibilities of VoiceOver. And so it seems not to 
work reliablly. But I wonder why it works in Internet Explorer and Jaws on the 
same side. Maybe the structure of Internet Explorer allows a better 
compatibility to a screen reader. I don't know. But if it is not a VO issue and 
it works in Windows screen readers it might be so.

Hi all,
Every so often, when I load or reload a page, vo will restart. I will hear 
"Voiceover on" after several seconds of intense activity from the hard drive, 
and things will proceed normally from there. Why would vo be crashing, and are there logs 
I could use to pinpoint the problem or at least tell Apple what is going on?


Have a great day,
