Question re accessibility of Silverlight please


Susan Jones via Jfw <jfw@...>
 

Hello: I am starting a new transcription job and they use Silverlight. Is there any way to get this to work with JAWS 15? So far I can't even get logged in with it. Thank you for any help someone can give.

Hi, Susan. I'm sorry, but Silverlight is all but completely inaccessible to speech users.

Susan, feel free to write me off-list: kbrolin65@.... Due to a
project involving JAWS and some of the information technology
platforms used at my own workplace, a programmer has been developing
fixes that apply to Microsoft Silverlight accessibility. It may be
that you or your employer could arrange to benefit from some of this
work, provided the legality of such information-sharing could be
worked out. I cannot share particulars with the public.

Hello Kane: Thank you for your e-mail re the Silverlight issue I am having. I just received a note from FS tech support saying that JAWS does not support Silverlight because Siliverlight does not support UIA text patterns. You mentioned a programmer assisting you with this. How would we proceed further with either myself or my employer. I work for Nuance Transcription Services. Thank you Kane for any information you can give me re the Silverlight issues. Have a wonderful day.

Susan Jones
