Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: Proofreading Software
I just wanted to report that Jarte is accessible to screen readers, allows
for page break insertion, and is free. :) It's basically a diluxe version of
WordPad, without all the bloat of MS Word. Page breaks are also announced,
at least by NVDA.
So I'm very happy. I found a solution that won't cost me anything. Just
thought others might be interested. I should also mention that Jarte does
all the essentials, like text formatting, attribute changing, insertion of
tables, customized tab stops, etc. One feature that really stood out is Hot
Connect, where you can have your browser open to fill out forms, edit text
in Jarte, save changes, and have the text automatically copied to the other
program's window.
In other news, my new scanner has just arrived. So I'm all set. Off to
start proofing.
