How to access this weekly ad site with the aid of a screen reader...

Offering web solutions that are accessible is important here at ShopLocal. To best assist guests that wish to use screen reader software to access the weekly ad site, the following three easy steps need to be understood and followed:

1. ShopLocal only supports the screen reader JAWS 8.X for Windows®, from Freedom Scientific, which is the most popular screen reader worldwide.

2.To access the weekly ad site, all guests must have already installed the required Adobe Flash Player 9 browser plug-in. If you have not already, this free 1.4 MB download from Adobe is easily installed by following this link.

3. To use the JAWS screen reader with the weekly ad site most effectively, all guests must download and install a set of free scripts (ZIP file that is 88K) from the Adobe website as a one-time activity. These scripts enable some of the accessibility features of the weekly ad site and allow guests to utilize the standard JAWS keyboard shortcuts than would otherwise be possible. Please note that these scripts only work for users of JAWS 8.x and later.

For more information on these add-on JAWS scripts, please visit the following help page that Adobe hosts that talks more about using Adobe Flex applications with JAWS
