This article is for people with visual or cognitive impairments who use a screen reader program such as Microsoft's Narrator, JAWS, or NVDA with the Microsoft 365 products. This article is part of the Microsoft 365 screen reader support content set where you can find more accessibility information on our apps. For general help, visit Microsoft Support home or Fixes or workarounds for recent office issues.
Use Word with your keyboard and a screen reader to explore and navigate the different views and move between them. We've tested it with Narrator, JAWS, and NVDA, but it might work with other screen readers as long as they follow common accessibility standards and techniques.
To explore the text of a document, swipe right or left until you hear VoiceOver announce the currently open page, followed by "Content." Swipe up or down to change the screen reader navigation mode, for example, to headings, paragraphs, lines, or words, and then swipe right or left to navigate.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of using Macos versus window when using JAWS screen reader.I want to try Macos and Siri what is different. Thank you to everyone who replied to this forum.ts
I have been a mac user for 5 years, but have switched to a Dell XPS with windows 10 and nvda. Mainly because i feel the accessibility on windows is better than the accessibility on the mac. A lot of apps, such as ms office, are harder to use on a mac with VoiceOver. A mac can definitely work, but i think nvda makes more progress compaired to voiceover.
Using Window since 3.3 and use jaws forever. I had listen to podcast about using mac from blindcool and using voiceover appears difficult compare to jaws. However to each their own. It will be for you to know because everybody has so many views. find 2 people one with a mac and windows and play with both to see what is best for you.
Its up to you. For me, both mac and windows with nvda are great. Both have there ups and downs. I'm mainly a mac user, but i do use windows on a daily basis as well. Its up to you which is better. For me voiceover and nvda are fine, i cant say which is more accessible, both have ups and downs
One of the major advantages of a PC is the ability to write custom scripts to make some programs work better and more efficiently with a screen reader. Just because a program might be "accessible" (meaning that you can navigate to and read all elements on the screen) it doesn't necessarily mean that a program is "useable" or efficient to use as a productive tool. People who use screen readers don't work in the same way that sighted people do. Yes, they might be able to tab a thousand times to get to an element that they can read on the screen and this could be called "accessible", but if there wasn't a hotkey built into the program to quickly get to the desired element with a single keystroke, it wouldn't be very productive. Scripts are written for Windows screen readers to make these programs both accesible and useable. If a program isn't quite meeting your needs it is often possible to write or have a custom script written to meet your work flow requirements on a PC. I don't believe this is the case on a Mac (or if it is, the solutions aren't as readily available).
I think one thing to also consider is that by nature both operating systems work differently, are designed differently, and have different workflows. This is something you'll want to be sure you are ok with and also aware of. It's one thing to have to learn a new screen reader, commands and all, but it is another entirely different matter to have to learn a new OS and a new screen reader at once. When frustration kicks in, you have to know who is to blame, the screen reader and its workflow, or the OS itself and its way of doing things. 2ff7e9595c
