Dorene,

Fluency is actually very accessible, and the developers have been very 
receptive and responsive to our needs and requests. They don't make 
everything happen, but they do their best to give us a reasonable 
work-around when they feel something isn't possible. In this case, I 
think the question was something that involves a different work-flow 
from the one the asker is using.

So I don't think Fluency developers are passing the buck, and since Tern 
Rich Text Boxes have come up in other contexts for me, I'm asking a more 
general question.

I'm also not interested in a conference call with Freedom Scientific 
since my experience with FS in connection with Trados, a different 
translation tool, has been that FS is willing to script Jaws if Trados 
developers are willing to pay, and Trados developers are willing to have 
their software scripted if FS is willing to pay for access to the 
software--two companies more interested in making money than making 
accessibility. So I don't think that's a productive avenue, and I don't 
think scripting for one specific screen reader, which happens to be the 
most expensive, is the way to solve the problem of inaccessible software.

So again, can screen readers work with Tern Rich Text Boxes? If so, any 
tips?

Ciao
