Hi Marion, As a LaTeX user, I'm not sure if that question makes sense. LaTeX is like a compiler; you write the source code in any text editor of your choice, then you run LaTeX from the command-line and it produces PDF, DVI or PostScript output which you then view with a viewer of your choice. Of course there may be issues with the editors and viewers, but the only part that LaTeX itself plays is the command-line tool. So I don't understand what that has to do with Jaws which is a Windows screen reader. It's possible that the report on incompatibility arose from somebody misunderstanding what LaTeX is (perhaps thinking "I can't get it to work, therefore there must be a compatibility problem" when in fact the real reason why they couldn't get it to work was because they didn't know that it's supposed to be a command-line tool).
