Apologies Surabhi, as an exception, my brain alerted me (smiles) after writing that e-mail that you are a low vision user! choose to ignore if you wish, because fundamentally the way you would use Supernova as a low vision user would differ from the way one would use a plain vanilla screen reader.

Excellent tips, Pranav! Surabhi: Completely off-topic question, if you have had experience in dealing with Jaws / NVDA / Window Eyes, then will you please comment about the functionalities of Supernova? Back in 2009, it was not a well performing screenreader. But I know that after that they have a

Hi Surabhi, What assistive technology do you use? I ask because if you use the jaws screen reader, it does report alignment information. The NVDA screen reader does the same. The other area to be careful about is overlapping objects. Again, screen readers do report that info. If you right click

Thanks Mahesh. I have been doing that but it just creates dependency, and a lot of work needs to be presented to stakeholders within a specific timeline. Thought it would be great if there was another alternative to this issue. On Thu, Oct 1, 2015 at 11:10 AM, Mahesh Narasimhan wrote: > Hi Surab
