Hello:

My agency uses Microsoft SharePoint as a collaboration tool. We are testing it with JAWS, and are looking at testing it with NVDA. Does anyone have experience with making this application more accessible? The three areas we identified are:

1. Lack of an accessible template

2. Lack of a configuration file for SharePoint in JAWS and

3. Lack of user knowledge about how to build an accessible site in the application

Thank you,
