Accessible Time sheet System?
Jerry Berrier <jerry.berrier@...>
Do any of you know of a time sheet management system appropriate for a company with several hundred employees that is screen reader friendly?
Employees would need to be able to enter their time, request time off, edit their time, and perform other related functions.

Hi Steve,

Reaper is has clearly far more functionality than Audacity. And I agree both that using the Osara extension, Reaper is very accessible, and also that it is comparatively inexpensive for such a good program. However, Reaper has a far steeper learning curve than Audacity, and so for some tasks, Audacity may provide an easier solution. David.

Hi all! I am a Windows 10 insider, and I love Windows 10 1809 with JAWS 2019! In the mail app, JAWS 2019 now reads the suggestions as you type an email address into the edit box. JAWS 2019 is very snappy in the settings app. You will have to turn off the background apps you do not want to run. Narrator, is much improved in Edge! I just used that combination to listen to YouTube videos! With Narrator, the Twitter app is almost accessible. We are getting close. The emoji in Windows 10 is very accessible with Narrator! JAWS2019, reads progress bars in downloads in Chrome much better in Windows 10 1809. Chrome works much better with JAWS, over all, in Windows 10 1809. You will just love it! David Moore

I am not using full screen mode, it’s just that for me and apparently at least one other person Alt+F does nothing whereas just pressing the Alt key brings up the menu. I am certainly not going to uninstall Chrome and reinstall it, disable extensions por anything of that sort. I honestly don’t care if Alt or Alt+F brings up the menu.

first thing to check is the keyboard layout that the screen reader is set to use. the laptop layout should be set for the laptop, see if that makes a difference. second, you can enable keyboard help and press that key to see if it is identified as a home key. if you're using JAWS or NVDA, the command is insert+1 above the letters. this is a toggle to enable or disable the feature.
