[JAWSLite] Re: Screen Layout

Jennifer,
The screen layout is used mostly for table layout formats.  What it will do is 
put the tables into line type formats with vertical bars separating the rows so 
that you can look at it with arrow keys rather than using table commands.

I wonder if screen layout really works? I've tried it on 
www.americanexpress.com and have had no luck understanding the web site better. 
 I also worked with another visually impaired person, using his reduced vision 
and it didn't seem to help make sense of the layout in conjunction with the 
Jaws voice either.  Any information I can receive will be helpful.

Thanks,

Jennifer

Have you used other screen readers?  The problem with using speech is that you 
can't always easily determine where things are on the screen based on
what comes out of the synth.    You just have to accept that "start button"
is somewhere visible and not assume it is in a particular place.  (I had an old 
system once that put the start button in the upper left corner--but i never 
knew that as I always assumed it was in the lower left.  But when you think 
about it, why would it matter as long as it worked?
Do you have a tutorial for jaws? That is where I got my introduction. I also

was new to windows when I got jaws more than a decade ago, and it was a bit of 
a learning curve, partly because of this layout issue -- -- sightlings and low 
vision persons feel so much more comfortable if they have a visual picture in 
their mind -- but you do get used to the process.
Good luck.

Hi,

Can someone explain the use of the Jaws screen layout on the Internet to me 
please? I really can't see how it works...I've tried it and don't see much of a 
difference.

Thanks,

Jennifer
