WordWeb Dictionary for Windows has major accessibility issues with JAWS 2026 and NVDA 2025.3.1.
In the Definitions area, JAWS reads many words only partially and replaces parts with spaces. Even when navigating left and right, you can actually hear or feel the spaces.
Interestingly, NVDA doesn’t have this problem, but every time you press Up or Down in the Definitions area, NVDA says “read-only edit box,” which makes reading definitions quite annoying. Both JAWS and NVDA also fail to read the last few lines of definitions and examples, as the cursor cannot move there. SHIFT+Up and SHIFT+Down do not work either.
Additionally, neither JAWS nor NVDA reads the part of speech or numbering information for each definition. SayAll with Insert+Down doesn't work either.
I’ve sent a detailed report to the developer of WordWeb Dictionary, at their request, and I hope they’ll address these accessibility issues soon.

Ich finde die Verarbeitung toll, und auch das Konzept der umklappbaren Tastatur, und dass ich die Wahl habe zwischen QWERTZ und Braille. Aber ich bin eh ein Fan der Help-Tech-Zeilen, schon immer gewesen. Was mich nicht überzeugt hat, war der Activator Pro bzw. die damit verbaute Tastatur. Zum einen ist mir die Zeile eh zu wuchtig, und zum anderen hat die Tastatur einen riesigen Hub und ein sehr weiches wabbeliges Feeling. Das können die besser.

You can't do this with a RAIDZ though. But you can now *grow* a RAIDZ
