Accessibility Change in Jaws

I have an image

<a href="#"> <img src="sample.jpg" alt="sample"> </a>

which is reading as LINK GRAPHIC by JAWS, I have to make JAWS to read as Sample Image.

Solution

  • Why would you try to make JAWS read something in particular?
    The important part is the information and content your page is giving to your users. What's the purpose of this content?
    Only then, verify that screen readers are reading out the information in a correct manner. a>img is a link graphic; JAWS is correct.

    Ryan's Notes

    There are two ways to maybe get it like that:

    1. Make sure the user is in expert mode with specific settings. Asking a user to adjust their settings so your site reads nicer, probably won't happen.
    2. Write a JAWS script to interpret <a><img> a certain way. _See #1, _
