Talking Technology with NCBI Labs Episode 4 - JAWS vs NVDA, and making
Wordle Accessible
The screen reader has for many years been an essential piece of software for
people with sight loss who wish to read text displayed on a computer or
mobile phone screen through speech output or a braille display. On the show,
(Tuesday 1st March at 2.30pm) we compare and contrast two popular screen
readers for Microsoft Windows, NVDA from NV Access and JAWS from Freedom
Scientific. We explain the difference between both, and what benefits there
from using one over the other (or using both!). Our panel and special guests
go in depth on all the pros and cons of both screen readers.
Next our attentions turns to the game just about everyone is talking about
or playing at the moment - Wordle! Recently bought over by the New York
Times, Wordle is a daily word game that has users playing and sharing their
scores on social media everyday, however until recently the game wasn't
accessible. We catch up with Dave Nason on the show who shares with us an
accessible way to play the game using a Google Chrome extension.
