I haven't used BibleWorks so can't speak to that... But the ability to click
a word and go to a separate page should work find. I myself am visually
impaired but do general work with usability consulting so was not
necessarily speaking in terms of a specific disability. The problems that
occur with mouseover effects depend greatly on the way they are implemented;
but here is a sampling.
* A person who relies on keyboard commands cannot reliably activate the
effect. This may or may not be true depending on the particular effect. I
have run into effects I can activate with keyboard commands built into a
screen reading program and some that I can't.
* An effect that isn't visible until the user hovers over it will never show
up for a keyboard navigator because they never hover over anything.
* A popup effect is truly a bad idea for users of screen readers--it totally
disorients them because they only "see" what is in that one window.. For the
sake of enabling them to orient to the screen, it is best to allow them
complete control of what they access.
* For people with learning disabilities it may also be best to allow control
of how much information is on the screen. Too much "clutter" can create
massive amounts of confusion. Btw, my tutorials in Greek for the past two
years have primarily been focused on students with learning disabilities and
related special needs. They can do quite well in Greek and may derive great
benefit from online helps.
Hope this is useful info.
