[jaws-uk] Re: Jaws tutorials?

Hi Hazel and welcome to the list.

your first stop should be,

The JAWS for Windows Basic Training Download page

http://www.freedomscientific.com/fs_products/training_basic.asp

if you've bought your copy of Jaws of a retailer it should arrive with these on cd, if not you can easily download the mp3s from this site.

You may not need to go through them entirely but it's strongly recommended to give them a cursary glance over.

Some key strokes straight off you may find helpful are,

insert numrow 1, (above the letter q).

This turns on Jaw's keyboard training mode. you can press keys to your hearts content to hear what they do, try combinations like insert t, insert w, and insert h and Jaws will tell you what these do.

This key command is a toggle so pressing insert 1 again will take you back out of keyboard mode.

it is a bit of a transition from Supernova so dont' expect to learn all the keystrokes over night but I'm sure you'll have no problems.

Insert h will give you a list of keystrokes within the application your using.

insert w will give you a list of general windows keystrokes.

And one of the most important keystrokes, insert t will read to you the title of the window your currently focused on.

Don't hesitate to ask any question no matter how silly it seems. We all started at the same point.

Hi there!
I am relatively new to the list and hope to get jaws installed on my computer this week!

I have been using Super nova for the last year or so and I understand that I will need a bit of help to switch over!

Is there some tutorials that can help with the Jaws shortcut keys and the functions of the numeric key pad with out going through the Microsoft shortcut keys?

Some basic help and advice would be great. As all this technology is all very new to me!

Best wishes,
Hazel.
