Victor, Thanks for your help. I will pass these instructions on to my students. As for sending attchments, we can just give it a whirl. I'll let you know when we try it. Thanks again for your time and assistance. ----- Original Message ----- From: Victor Gouveia To: jaws-users-list@googlegroups.com Sent: Saturday, March 03, 2007 5:43 AM Subject: [JAWS-Users] Re: web mail
Hi Tammy, Composing e-mails are just as easy, if not easier, depending on the version of Jaws you have. I am currently running Jaws 7 and I find that once I press the navigation hotkey to get to the compose button with the B key and hit enter, Yahoo typically focuses on the to field of the next page where you compose the message. At that point, all you have to do is press enter to go to forms mode and you can tab through the different fields. Having said that, there is a caveat in this process. First off, I don't know what it's like to send attachments with web mail, so I can't really comment on that part of it, so please try at your own risk, and if it behooves you, please report back what you find as I am interested in that also. Secondly, the spell checker is atrocious to use, and completely inaccessible, or rather, a complete pain in the ass to use with Jaws. It could also be that I didn't have enough patience to learn to use it properly, or that Yahoo may have possibly made the process better to use for blind and visually impaired users of their site since the last time I tried to use it, but in any case, the same use at your own risk applies here also. One thing I find easier to use is possibly composing the e-mail in another program, such as Outlook Express or Microsoft Word or Word Pad, use the spell checker in those programs, then cut and paste the result into the message field of the web mail message. I find this a great deal easier, especially if I have a really long piece to compose, or if I'm not feeling particularly well that day and I make a number of mistakes. Either way, you can decide if you want to try those aspects of the process. Hope this helps.
