RE: additional label question

> Tools like JAWS are AT, not screen readers.

My first thought was, "What is a ridiculous assertion!"  I now find it profound.  I am hoping you will start a new thread expounding on this idea.

My best example of JAWS _not_ being a screen reader follows....

We were recently trouble shooting an HTML form that was designed to filled out on-screen, printed, and mailed in.  There were lots of on-screen instructions that disappeared when printing from the regular browser File > Print... menu (there was not a dedicated submit button or Javascript for printing).  This was done using the @media print construct of course.  The bizarre thing was that JAWS was not picking up the on-screen instructions.  The page used formally valid CSS and HTML, the problem turned out to be bug regarding how JAWS handled @screen and/or @import, I forget exactly.  I do remember that we did come up with an acceptable work around that wasn't too much of a hack.  I bring this up now because, if JAWS really was a screen reader, of course it would have read those on-screen instructions!

So, what should we call assistive technology like JAWS and Window Eyes if screen reader is not really accurate?
