Milonic Menu
Hi
I am from SumTotal Systems using Milonic Menus for our product. We would like to know whether your menu has support for JAWS screen reader.
We would appreciate if there is a work around solution you can suggest.
Thanks

Hi,
If we could get hold of JAWS for testing, we would definately support it.
Unfortunately, we've asked the people that make JAWS for a testing version and they completely ignored us, we've tried several times and failed several times too.
If you can put pressure on them as a customer to provide us with a test version of their software we may have a little more leverage.
Regards,
Andy

I am not sure if you can download the trial version from website. But surely I can provide you. Can I send it to "forumadmin@milonic.com".
You can re-install the software once trial period is over to continue your work.

Hi Andy,
Let me explain the problem I am facing right now when using JAWS.
Currently we are using the F2 function key to access milonic menu from keyboard (keypress.js file). It works fine. But when JAWS is launched, pressing F2 will only highlight the menu item and thereafter it becomes dumb. No navigation is made possible.
Kindly let me know if you are facing the same.
Thanks

Hi,
Upon investigation I found that when Forms Mode is ON it is able to get into the menu and works fine. But Forms Mode cannot be turned ON when focus is on a control/element which is not editable/selectable (such as edit box or combo box). This is JAWS restriction.
A work around for this is add a new script into default.jss that is attached to some keypress (say Ctrl+1) to explicitly enable FORMS mode ON.
Script TurnFormsModeON()
; the following is a built-in function in JAWS
TurnONFormsMode();
; Announce it
SayString("Forms Mode ON");
EndScript
Before accessing the menu we can use the key to turn ON and then navigate thru the menu. However, JAWS automatically turns OFF the forms mode when a new page is loaded on the browser. Alternately, JAWS provides Numpad + to turn OFF forms mode.
This is working fine for now and hope it helps all your menus.
But I suggest you may find a better solution.
