The screen reader has for many years been an essential piece of software for
people with sight loss who wish to read text that is displayed on a computer
screen or mobile phone through speech output. On the show this week 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 is 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.
