Issue with reading the Pega screens using JAWS (Job Access With Speech)
Hi,
Issue with reading the Pega screens using JAWS (Job Access With Speech)
When run in IE the screen reader (Jaws) correctly reads the label.
When run in Chrome the screen reader (Jaws ) reads the list as (Search ,edit, type, test).
Thanks & Regards

Hi Rajasekhar,
More than PEGA , I think its an issue with JAWS and CHROME .
Refer this discussion : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28359212/why-does-chrome-have-issues-with-jaws-screen-reader

Thanks Santanu,
The information given in above URL is generic. We can't directly correlate with our issue.
Can we get more reliable source of information to share with clients.
Thanks in Advance!

Hi Rajasekhar,
What are the following versions?
Browsers:
JAWS:
Pega:
Also, what specifically are you testing this against? What are you attempting to read. Can you expand on the exact use case here?

Can someone response to above query.
Hi Rajasekhar,
It is not clear what you mean by "read the list"
Is this an HTML list item? <UL> or <OL>?
Or are you describing maybe a Pega grid sourced by a page list?
Can you show us a screenshot of what this list is?

If focus is on the list checkbox I hear, "Lists checkbox checked"
Then, "recent reports link"
Then, "all reports link"
Then, when I land on the actual search input field, this is where I hear similar to what you are describing.
"search reports edit, reports, type in text"
Is it possible you have focus of this instead? And also may have misheard JAWS?
If you are certain you are on the list label and are hearing something different, please open an SR with all the details you have.
Thank you

Hi Rett,
Thanks for prompt response.
Since I don't have JAWS on my local system, I was waiting for client's response to confirm.
Today I have installed JAWS on local system JAWS 16. But I don't know how to use and test web application. I am not getting any sound, when I tab in our our application.
Could you guide me.
Thanks & Regards

Hi Rajasekhar,
Make sure JAWS is working independently first, to ensure it is installed properly and sounds is working etc. The JAWS application itself should read out various things as you interact with its menus. In the same respect, it will read out desktop icons, and various other things.
Is that stuff working for you, but your Pega app isn't? Or can you not even get that far?
