Work with Zoom Like a Pro
The Zoom conferencing client is highly accessible, since the team at Zoom
have done an excellent job in terms of implementing a high level of
accessibility features and audio cues. However, there are ways even the best
software can be improved upon, which is where JAWS for Windows scripting has
always played a huge part.
Join Brian Hartgen from Hartgen Consultancy to learn about the JAWS scripts
for Zoom available at two levels: either free or those which you pay for.
He'll talk to you and demonstrate the different features and discuss
improvements for the future.
If time allows, he'll also discuss other innovations happening in the
company, including their product Leasey's new highly customisable weather
app and the ability to search an enormous TV database for show information
past and present.
