Screen Reader Accessibility
The WOWI assessment is easily accessible for people using screen readers. The BVI version of the WOWI was developed with, and endorsed by, an organization exclusively serving individuals who are blind. They universally rate it as the most accessible career assessment on the market. It was carefully designed to be fully compatible with JAWS and other screen readers.
Choosing a Screen Reader
The best choice for you will depend on the type of computer or smartphone that you have and the browser you prefer. Nearly all computers, tablets, and smartphones have a screen reader function built in. Popular programs are JAWS and NVDA for Windows computers, VoiceOver for the Mac and iPhone, and TalkBack on Android.
JAWS® was developed for computer users whose vision loss prevents them from seeing screen. See helpful hints.
