Testing with JFW

I see your point, JAWS is more than the defacto
standard, many agency DP departments have stated that
JAWS is the only screenreader what will be supported
and that's all that is being purchased.

I'll see what can be done at the GSA Accessibility
Forum to get Freedom Scientific to create a 'testing'
version of JFW for web designers and software vendors.
Check out the Forum website
www.accessibilityforum.org.

Please join the Objective measures group, they could
use your comments on web testing.

John,


This is not a new argument, and this isn't the forum
for it anyway. But if you are left with the
impression that "PC Windows 98, JAWS 4.X" is the
baseline, well, that's probably because that
combination comes closest to implementing the W3C
standards, upon which the governments are relying upon
to establish a Standard.
