Use of Other Assistive Technologies
Although The MathWorks has n ot tested other assistive technologies, such as
other scre en readers or ZoomText Xtra (screen magnifier) from Ai Squared,
The MathWorks believes that most of the accessibility support built into its
products should work with most assistive technologies that are generally
similar to the ones tested.
If you u se other assistive te chno lo gies than the ones tested, The MathWorks
is very inte rested in hearing f rom you about your experiences.
