Hi All,
I am involved with a project that is going to use Share Point 2013 and then
2016. I know there were fewer issues with 2013, but still...
A colleague mentioned that there were 'plug ins' to help with the issues.
One is Discover508 and the other is AvePoint Accessibility Accelerator. Has
anyone used them? They are pricey, so I wanted to get some idea of whether
they work well or not.
Also, if anyone has worked with training/HR programs like Lanteria HR,
ShareKnowledge or Elearning Force, I would also love to hear about your
experiences.
Thanks in advance!
Cheers
Lisa

We have done some testing here in Minnesota and Discover 508 definitely helps. You are right that it is "spendy" as they say here in Minnesota. Also, it does take some messing around to get everything to work right. It has to be taught about different kinds of controls etc., in SharePoint, and 2013 is still a work in progress. Everything that Discover 508 did for SharePoint 2010 it does not yet do in 2013. They are working on it, but ...
I will conclude by saying, at least for screen reader users -- SharePoint is messy! (my words.)

Cliff responds:
Then maybe I should start using a screen reader with Sharepoint, because without one it's an absolute train wreck.

Hello Dave,
Thanks so much, appreciate the information. I love the word spendy!
Oh so 2013 is an issue? I gather 2016 would be out of the question
then...oh boy.
Yes SharePoint is an issue for many users. I wish there was a better
solution overall.
Thanks again, appreciate it!
Cheers
Lisa

Totally agree Cliff, it isn't intuitive for most people!
