Hello!

Does anyone in the list have experience supporting screen reader users taking Chinese/Mandarin courses?

We have a VoiceOver user who is taking traditional Mandarin classes this term and are finding that the voice they use is using modern pronunciation rather than traditional which apparently causes confusion in understanding the text.

Our department also provides JAWS license to students, in case JAWS has better support in this matter.

Thanks in advance for your inputs!

Best,
Ramya
