Hey all,

How does webanywhere compare to JAWS and NVDA? If something works in WA
can I assume it works in those two?

Sandy

WebAnywhere is a webpage that provides a screenreader-esque interface
to other webpages, whereas JAWS and NVDA query various native Windows
APIs to provide an interface to applications such as web browsers.
