Question

TLF & Accessibility : does it work with Jaws ?

Thanks to Robin Briggs, i have enabled accessibility on my Textflows with Configuration.enableAccessibility.

But screen-readers do not behave the same way with TLF textFlows

- Window-Eyes reads the text line by line, following the mouse

- but i can't get automatic voicing on TLF flows neither with Jaws nor NVDA.

Moreover, as stated here : http://www.adobe.com/accessibility/products/flex/jaws.html

Jaws need some scripts to be installed to be fully usable with Flex, but the scripts downloadable are for Flex3, they don't seem to work with Flex 4 ?

Has someone at Adobe ran some tests with TLF and Jaws (which is the most popular screen reader) ?

Thanks

Hi pechbonnieu,

I'd like to look into this further.  Can you tell me what version of JAWS you are using?  I believe that TLF requires JAWS 11, but want to do some testing on other versions as well.

Thanks.

I'm sorry I don't have the answer for you - but your post caught my eye and I wanted to throw in my two cents.

This is also important to my development needs... so I'd also appreciate any documentation Adobe could provide about using TLF with screen readers - esp JAWS.

Thanks
