Accessibility Testing Results

EndNote works with NVDA and JAWS 11 for most of the program. Keyboard access is through the menu system and the icons are easy for sighted users. The documentation is very comprehensive but may be challenging for novice users.

#	Test	Score	Summary
16	Built in accessibility checks		The program has a VPAT http://www.endnote.com/support/helpdocs/EndNoteX3-Accessibility-VPAT.pdf that says that it works with assistive technologies and built in accessibility checks. The testing showed it worked with high contrast mode and built in magnification but not built in speech on Windows.
17	Application works with External Assistive Technologies		According to the VPAT the program works with screen readers and has keyboard access. NVDA and JAWS 11 works with the majority of the program that are accessible from the keyboard.
18	Text or other alternatives for image elements.		There were no images that required reading aloud. The file menu system provides access
19	Keyboard / Alternative input with focus		Tabbing around did not immediately show a navigation path - this had to be achieved through the menu system and keyboard short cuts
20	Labels for objects, fields or controls		Labels are available
21	Audio alerts have visual cues		This is not applicable
22	Alternatives for Video / Animation		This is not applicable
23	Media events offer user control		This is not applicable
24	Textual Information for screen reader		NVDA and JAWS 11 appear to be able to read the menu systems but there appear to be problems with some of the input text.
25	Keyboard shortcut keys offered		Keyboard short cuts are offered for the main menu systems
26	Save user preferences for style and zoom		It is possible to change font sizes and the program will work with other AT for changing the colour contrast levels.
27	Timed events can be altered		This is not applicable
28	Change colours and contrast		This worked well across the whole application
29	Uniform and standardised presentation		These are consistent and readable with good icons
30	Documentation		Comprehensive help files and good online support. May be too much for those who find text rich files hard to digest.
