Jaws and the Kindle for PC
|
Fred Quick
Hi All,
I'm having trouble working the Kindle reader on my tablet. Does Jaws work with this program? I'm running Windows 8.1. I can find the list of books but when I open a book, I can't get Jaws to read it. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Fred |

Never tried it on a tablet, but on my old Netbook running Windows XP, I installed a Kindle for PC app that included Accessibility. Jaws was actually silenced while using the accessible Kindle for PC so that it could read the book. I would assume the accessible version still exists and is compatible with 8.1, but I haven't tried.

for book content (jaws will read the menus and such but I suspect that's not what you are asking about). Instead you install a special accessible version of the kindle software (available at https://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html?docId=1000632481), When started that software then detects that you have a screen reader running (I know jaws and nvda are detected, not sure about WE or system access), and tyou can then access the book content via self-voicing. Honestly it would be very nice if the kindle software would work like a normal program (the available voices are pretty poor) but I also understand why amazon doesn't do that. Any interface that could be used to gain accessibility information could also be used for less legitimate purposes. On 1/11/14, Fred Quick <quicktech77@...> wrote:
