Thanks, guys. Very interesting. I have NVDA, but I'm not crazy about using it much. I can hardly keep track of Window-Eyes commands, let alone learning those of another screen reader. Does System Access work with Open Office.

The whole problem started when I accidentally deleted Office Starter 2010 from my Windows 7 computer recently. I don't have the bucks to upgrade to the full version of Microsoft Office. Window-Eyes didn't work with the starter package either because it doesn't have the add ins to make it work. I've been using Jarte for a word processor, which Window-Eyes will work with. But I'm not the only user on this machine. Thus, the need for another office suite.

John,

Sorry to say, you've received bad information.

Windows-Eyes is not natively interoperable with IAccessible2 based
applications. GWMicro can build custom interfaces, and as of the 8.4 that
does not include supoort for Apache OpenOffice or LibreOffice.

As both projects have removed the Java Access Bridge kludge needed to use a
Java JRE Accessibility Interface--they do not work with Windows-Eyes.

Windows-Eyes does fine with MS UIA applications like Office 2010 or
2013--and offers heavy discounts for users with those office suites
installed.

JAWS, does a bit better with IAccessibile2 AOO or LibreOffice

But, if you are going to use either OpenSource Office product, the NVDA open
source project is miles ahead in their support of IAccessible2 (with
continued support for Java and MS UIA based Assistive Technology as well).
