Hi Mairead,

We use Sage here in NCBI, or should I say, our accounts department use it.
The version we use, Sage Line 100, runs in windows but through a Dos shell,
thus making it more or less unusable with screen readers.

I had heard that Line 50 was far better, but I do know that Sage have had
on-going accessibility problems with other software they have produced in
the past, such as ACT, which is a CRM (Customer Management and Relationship)
application.

Have you looked on line to see if anyone has created Jaws scripts for this
product?

Regards,

Stuart.

Subject: [vip_students] Useing Sage verion 11 with jaws

Hi all
I am just wondering if anyone has ever used Sage line 50 with jaws 7 before?
I have just started to use it as part of my college course and jaws doesn't
seem to be able read some of the screens very well.
For instance today when I was creating customers when I got to where you
type in the fax number jaws was calling the heading company.  When I had all
the details inputted I couldn't figure out how to get to the credit control
option.

When I was creating suppliers jaws wasn't entering on record new supplier so
I had to get someone to use the mouse.  When I got to where you input the
supplier details jaws was just reading out options e.g. close, delete, print
but not the headings where you put the details.  I would appreciate it if
anyone has any information on using sage with jaws as I will have an exam on
this in a few weeks.

Regards

Mairead O Mahony
