Good Morning, Discover Technology has also approached my Federal Department. Due to funding, only one of the Agencies has monies to purchase Discover 508. I agree it is a good product and the usability makes life much simpler for a person using adaptive technology, but why should additional money be used to make a product accessible? I believe the fix is for Microsoft to make their product accessible.

Hi, Our agency is moving to using SharePoint. We have purchased Discovery 508. This software installed on computers for staff using JAWS will change the interface to make it easier for screen readers.

Hi all, I never post here, but I joined this list a long time ago. I have a question. I'm testing the accessibility of a web site on Microsoft Share Point. I know it isn't completely accessible, but I wanted to know if there was anything I could do to accurately test it for accessibility using Jaws 15. I test for accessibility according to the standards listed in section 508 of the Federal Rehabilitation act. I look forward to any suggestions/recommendations you can provide.
