Subject: [Audyssey] Windows screen reader software?
Hi folks,
My apologies if I bring up a question that has already been discussed to
death, but I don't see anything about this in a casual browsing of the
archives.
At first I thought I didn't have any screen reader software, so I couldn't
test the accessibility of my RSW website directly. But then I realized
that every Mac has VoiceOver built-in, and it's quite nice! I've been
going through my web pages with VoiceOver, and I've found a number of
minor issues that I'll be correcting.
But I'd hate to fine-tune my pages to VoiceOver's quirks only, without
knowing about similar quirks in other software. In particular, what do
Windows users typically use to browse the web? I see that Narrator is
built-in to Windows, but it's almost unusable. Even Narrator itself
recommends users buy a third-party program instead.
So, if I were to purchase one such third-party program for the purpose of
testing my website's accessibility under Windows, which program should it
be?
Thanks!
David
