Re: Jaws and Window Eyes info needed

I'm pretty sure that the JAWS license forbids this sort of thing, but it is certainly done. So you know, it is 40 minutes or one use up to that length and then you need to reboot. I think that Window-Eyes is the same. If you are using one of these tools for production/testing work then your employer really should pony up the dough for a license.

You could also try NVDA, which doesn't have that constraint.

Thanks,

I don't use it for hard core testing. I'm testing an element here or
there that my experience tells me might have an accessibility issue.
Rarely am I currently going over the 40 minute limitation.
