There are archived Webinars on the freedom Scientific Web site, that go over using the touch cursor in JAWS to use Windows 8.1 and Windows 10, and it just allows you to press the arrow keys to simulate a flick or swipe in the direction of the arrow key. You do not need a touch screen for the touch cursor to work in JAWS. You need JAWS 16, I believe, or maybe 15, to have the touch cursor built into JAWS. You can use the touch cursor in apps, just like using a phone. For example, you can use the touch cursor to flick through the Windows 10 news universal app. David Moore Sent from Mail for Windows 10

Some of the new Windows app require the use of the touch cursor to read or even activate things on the screen. It's an annoyance but something everyone just has to get used to or live with. You should read about it in your JAWS help files. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of wayne smith Sent: February 10, 2018 5:23 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] Touch cursors Hello all- My computers are old and do not have touch screens. I keep hearing about the touch cursor. Is ther any use for them for machines that do not have a touch screen? Is there a link where I can learn more about using them with JAWS and which versions work with them?
