Hi Folks,
Hope you are Well.
I'm Seeking inputs on Arabic Screen Readers.
I'm working for a Dubai Based Company as Accessibility Tester, Basically
most of our Web Sites Contains both English and Arabic content.
Generally i Use NVDA to test for Accessibility, though NVDA has Arabic
language option, it has little compatibility with Arabic language.
Can you Say "which screen Reader has better support for Arabic language?".
And is there any of us working on arabic Web content Accessibility?
Dear folks please throw me a little light on this.
Awating your Response!

Thanks and Regards,
Jeevan.

In 2008, the screen reader IBSAR by Sakhr Software (Kuwait) won the
World Summit Award:
<http://www.wsis-award.org/winner/ibsar-vision-blind-49820100624>;.
There is also a YouTube video that presents this screen reader:
<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLtiiJVX2vI>;.
However, I have not heard any news about this screen reader since then.
If you find out that it is still available, please notify this list.

Best regards,

Christophe
