Hi guys. Now that I'm doing a lot more screen reader usability testing,
I often run into the problem where something will work in JAWS and not
in NVDA. But then I am left with the question of why. Are there any sort
of courses I could take that could bring me up to speed on this stuff so
I could actually help the developers fix stuff so it works best for all?

I also am looking for general courses so I could upgrade my
understanding from the html that I took way back when how you built a
website was just HTML but I don't know what courses wouldn't be full of
screen shots, which would be all kinds of useless for me with the
non-functioning eyeballs.

Thanks,

Carin

I would have liked to have gotten educated that way as well but was a lot
of trial and error. If you are running into normalization problems, I
would be glad to give it a look and either find a solution or tell you
what's going on (to the best of my abilities, of course).

Feel free to contact me directly.
