[blindlaw] Screen Readers and Legal Software

[Poje, Joshua]

Greetings,

 

I work in the American Bar Association's Legal Technology Resource
Center.  We advise attorneys on a variety of technology issues.  We were
recently contacted by an attorney who is interested in finding case
management or practice management software that will be compatible with
a screen reader such as Freedom Scientific's JAWS or GW Micro's
Window-Eyes.  I've tried contacting several of the software vendors but
they haven't been terribly helpful.  Does anyone have a software
recommendation that I could pass along?  I'm particularly interested in
finding out if there are any software vendors that have made a conscious
effort to support screen readers.

 

Thank you,
