Hi E,
I wish that I could say I received good training in JAWS. I remember being
told how to arrow up and down through a document and how to move word by
word or letter by letter. The rest, with some help for Monica, Jackie and
another friend, I learned on my own ... And that was little by little as I
needed to learn it.
Blessings.
Lynn I
Happy moments, praise God.
Difficult moments, seek God.
Quiet moments, worship God.
Painful moments, trust God.
Every moment, thank God.

Fortunately you received good training in the use of your screen
reader and you apparently are willing to learn how to use it.
For some folks, particularly newly blind folks, there is a great deal
of learning to do in many areas of life. Perhaps they have
rudimentary computer skills and only basic knowledge of their screen
reader software.
Bookshare provides them with the joy of reading again. Let's design
the site to be as easy to use as possible.
