This is also good to know.

Hopefully, the re-write will improve accessibility.

Keep us all posted if you hear anything.

Tom

I should say that N1MM is currently undergoing a major re-write using .net.
So will wait and see what the major new version is like.

Thanks,David.

This is good info to keep in mind.

Hopefully, things will improve and get easier as more and more of us work
with the software and Jaws.

I'm not quite ready to take the leap yet, but will do so if I can't get
N3FJP to work better with what I'm trying to accomplish.

Tom - all

The setup screen is a nightmare with any screen reader.

Once into the program, personal and station information can be inputted
easily.

Setting up a contest is straight forward.  The supported contests are in a
traditional drop down list.

Inputting QSO data is straight forward, but setting up the CW messages
causes Terry and Kelvin problems.

I have found that I can save them by tabbing to "save" and pressing a
routing key on my Braille display - either a Powerbraille or Alva.

I haven't yet started looking at statistical analysis but this will need to
be with the JAWS cursor.

I couldn't initially fathom out the database structure until finding the
youtube description:

I'd be interested in the experiences of anyone using N1MM with Jaws as well,
since that is the screen reader I currently use.

Tom,

I tried using N1MM with JAWS, not easy. If anyone has had success with N1MM
and JAWS let me know.

I think Lloyd is using Window Eyes.
