hi, I haven't used oracle personally, but I'm pretty sure that some Oracle client software is written in Java. Apparently Jaws does work well enough with it, as long as you have jaws and java configured to talk to each other.

I used to use it for pricing items. From a vision impaired person's point of view i find it easy to use after some training I received in it a few years ago. It is very clear in terms of font size & layout. Sometimes you'll have more than one screen open in it depending on what you may be looking for. There would be quite a few fields in a page in oracle & some of them might have drop down menus which might contain the information you require. The onlly snag is that it may be slow booting up too. Other list members may have tested it with JAWS & they may be able to tell you a bit more about it. It could well be something for Brian & the research team to check out. Hope that helps Suzanne _____ From: vicsireland-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:vicsireland-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Joan Ann Brosnan Sent: 29 June 2006 16:06 To: vics Subject: [vicsireland] Oracle Hi I was just wondering if anyone has used Oracle and if it is Jaws friendly? Any advice would be welcome Joan Ann.
