Re: [libreoffice-accessibility] Does Java Access Bridge Work in 3.5.4?

[Alex Midence <alex.midence@gmail.com>]

Hi, list,

Did a small test drive of Libre Office on Windows with Jaws yesterday.
 Writer appears to work for basic documents.  There is a bit of a
delay before the text you type appears to the screen reader but I
think someone who knows how to write jaws scripts in the jaws
scripting language can work with it and make it fully accessible.  I
haven't gotten a chance to work with Calc or Impress or any of the
others yet.  One thing I did notice is the menus and things are much
snappier than Open Office was.  That was nice.
