Is JAWS compatible with a windows phone

[raydwatts]

Hello, a colleague at work was asking me if JAWS screen reading software is compatible with any of the windows phones. The most likely choice for him would be the 950 rather than the 950xl due to the size. But he is very happy with windows 10 on his PC so is drifting away from the Apple ecosystem and he likes the idea of a windows phone.

I would say not.... Looks to be an x86 program.

Maybe you could let him demo Narrator on your device?

Thanks for that. I know that he does not think that narrator works that great on his PC with a physical keyboard but I recall that the big update coming focuses on improvements to Narrator etc so hopefully they will be part of the WP10 experience too as well as on PC's and Surface Pro's .Windows 10 Anniversary Update will offer improvements for Assistive Technology users | Windows Central
