Catching Up with JAWS: The Next Chapter!

Introduction.

Now is your chance to get some high quality training on some of the latest features within the screen-reader JAWS for Windows which have been introduced over the past two years. This follows on from our previous popular training course Catching Up with JAWS. Ideal for JAWS users, Trainers, Consultants and anyone interested in the screen-reader!

If you are a person who chooses to upgrade your copy of JAWS on a regular basis, or maybe you've skipped an upgrade or two and you are about to update your computer to JAWS for Windows version 2019, chances are that you may not have had time to get to grips with the latest features the screen-reader offers. While JAWS does contain excellent documentation, there's nothing like someone sitting down with you to explain how many of these new features work.

That's why at Hartgen Consultancy, we've created a short course to enable you to get your JAWS knowledge up-to-date. The course focuses upon the new features included with JAWS versions 2018 and 2019 which you may have missed out on.

With the new annual subscription to JAWS now available starting in the US, (designed to make it easier for people to obtain JAWS or to jump up to the latest release), it's a good chance to get your knowledge updated. Not only that, this training course is ideally suited to users of Zoomtext Fusion too.

Purchasing JAWS is a significant investment, so it is important that you make the most of what you've paid for and that you are taught by someone who fully understands all aspects of using it. You may also be an access technology Trainer, or an I T Lecturer in a College who has a basic awareness of how JAWS works but again is not up to speed with the latest enhancements.

What You Will Learn.

This course is in one session lasting 90 minutes. It is designed for anyone who already understands how to use many functions of JAWS but who would like to gain a greater skill level with the latest features. The features are demonstrated with real world examples so that they make sense.

Topics include:

• New enhancements to the JAWS Startup Wizard.
• JAWS version number change.
• How is JAWS working with Microsoft Edge? What you can do and what you can't do.
• The power of JAWS OCR. How it works with scanners, cameras and files.
• JAWS support for Skype version 8.
• Enhancements within Windows10 and Microsoft Office 2016/365.
• Faster startup time.
• Notification of Spelling Errors in Microsoft applications. How to work with them and disable them.
• Speak character phonetically after pause during character navigation, similar to how VoiceOver functions on an iDevice. How to vary the reporting speed and disable it.
• Audio Ducking in Windows10.
• Catching up with Braille. How has the Braille support changed over time?
• Using JAWS 2019 on the ElBraille.
• Other Tips and Tricks which are hidden away just waiting to be found.
