Hey there Marvin, I understand software like JAWS and NVDA (http://www.nvda-project.org/) read out the entire screen activity of a PC (as opposed to FANGS which only reads inside Firefox and therefore only websites or at least browser based software) and as such like an inaccessible website that is not coded with screen readers (in this instance) in mind, then if JAWS or NVDA can't translate what's on the PC screen then the software is lacking.
But I would of thought Windows with their own accessibility ambitions would by now of considered their development platforms, and for that matter Adobe as well. However I assume you wouldn't be asking this question if experience suggested otherwise! What I wonder though is do you really need these advanced software packages to do what you can achieve with a good text editor? And wouldn't a simpler tools be less likely to cause issues? Ian Lloyd in his Sitepoint Book "Build your own web site the right way using HTML & CSS" recommends NoteTab (www.notetab.com) for Windows users. It has a free lite version. There appear to be a number of other free development tools online for Windows users, but by now were discussing the merits of software and not web standards :) My other suggestion would be to write to the guys behind NVDA (or join the forum). They are blind computer developers and likely have some experience that could assist you. Hope this is helpful somehow and congrats on the study decision, Cheers John Unsworth On 18 August 2011 15:52, Peter Mount <i...@petermount.com> wrote: > You might want to look at Lynx as well. > > http://lynx.isc.org > > Peter Mount > Web Development for Business > Mobile: 0411 276602 > i...@petermount.com > http://www.petermount.com > > On 19/08/2011, at 7:53 AM, Marvin Hunkin <startrekc...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> hi. >> well enrolling in a diploma in website development. >> and developing a website. >> now what web site development tools, and which programming tools which works >> best with Jaws? >> visual basic, visual web developer, c#, dream weaver, vs 2008, or 2010. >> which works best with jaws? >> marvin. >> ps: will take your more expertise in this area. >> >> >> ******************************************************************* >> List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm >> Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm >> Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org >> ******************************************************************* >> > > > ******************************************************************* > List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm > Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm > Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org > ******************************************************************* > > ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org *******************************************************************
