Support for users who are blind is predominately dependent on the use of a screen reader. The applications has been tested with JAWS for Windows (see www.freedomscientific.com).

See “Special considerations: interference with other software” below.

During testing with JAWS, it was found that listening to the table results is easier while in full screen view. To enter full screen view, press the F11 key. To exit full screen view, press the Esc key.

There are issues that deserve special attention, as outlined in the following topics.

The application has been tested only with the JAWS for Windows screen reader software version 8.0.

The initial focus in a dialog is generally on the control in the upper left area. To access other controls, press Tab, or use the keyboard shortcuts.

The placement of a control in the tabbing order is determined by the section it belongs to, the type of control it is, and its placement in the dialog. Some dialogs might not have all types of controls or the same number of controls.

For dialogs containing more than one user interface tab (the Options dialog, for example), the initial focus is generally on the first tab itself. Press Ctrl+Tab to navigate to other tabs. Press the Tab key to navigate through the controls on each tab.

When testing the application with screen readers such as JAWS, other software might interfere. For example, the use of a Systems Management Server (SMS) in your organization might interfere with JAWS’s ability to read some products. Disabling SMS will rectify this situation.
