Although a variety of access technologies are available for use with the Internet, we recommend using Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 Service Pack 2 or IE 6 to provide you with the highest level of browser accessibility. The Microsoft Active Accessibility (MSAA) software is included with a "full" install of IE 5.5 and higher.
If you are blind or visually impaired, these pages were designed to be accessible with most industry-standard screen readers. However, we recommend JAWS for Windows version 3.31 or later for the best speech synthesis.
