Re: [libreoffice-accessibility] Using Libre office with the Jaws screen Reader

Hi. I wanted to report that I have been using LibreOffice off and on 
with JAWS 2020 with good success. I have recently used JAWS with 
LibreOffice version 7 and it works quite well. Admittedly, you're going 
to get the best accessibility experience with Microsoft 365 but 
LibreOffice, at least Writer and Calc, will work reasonably well with 
JAWS 2020.
