The reader in ZoomText has a lot of quirks, and does not support common web standards for accessibility. For example it does not support the label element, and gets its label information from the title attribute in the input instead.

That being said, we have had very bad luck with the JAVA access bridge. We have had vastly different performance between systems with JAWS and the Access Bridge installed and have been unable to get the interactive elements to report or perform reliably when using a screen reader.
