[gui-talk] jaws and Microsoft infopath2007

[Jude DaShiell]

I found out today infopath2007 is accessible for jaws users.  At work I 
have jaws 10.5.x so not the newest version.  Me and a contractor called 
freedomscientific earlier today and found that freedomscientific does not 
support infopath2007 at all.  Reason I called was that the software which 
is used to create and fill in online forms among other things for me 
wasn't accessible.   Then I tried two things that made the difference.  
The first is to turn off the virtual cursor insert-z.  The second thing 
after that was to arrowdown the form and not use the enter or tab keys.  I 
heard each question and heard the edit fields associated with each 
question and filled those out along with a combo box and hit submit and 
the form was valid and accepted.  If infopath can do multiple choice 
testing, it may even be able to replace flash for mandatory training the 
federal government requires of its employees some day.  That would get 
d.o.n.c.i.o. the easy button they very much want now.
