Dear list,

Was wondering if anyone has experience with using a screen reader
(JAWS or NVDA) with a bitlocker key on a computer. Is theire a way to
get a screen reader to read the bitlocker key once the prompt for the
bitlocker comes on? Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,
Nathan Clark

No, but you can set up Bit locker to allow your sign in to be what starts Bit Locker.
This can be changed in Control Panel under the Bit Locker settings. You also have to make sure that your
Company doesn't override your changes.
