Miriam, Here are step by step instructions for using the FS Reader, Version 2 which should have installed in your system if you loaded Jaws 12 or 13.
1. Go to your Desktop. 2. Press the letter F to use First Letter Navigation and locate a link called "FS READER 2.0" 3. Press Enter to open the FS Reader program. 4. You will now be on a blank menu because nothing has yet been called up. 5. Press Control O to open Fs Reader's search module. 6. Shift Tab and your cursor should be on a list of built in training files. 7. Choose one of the files by lining up on it and pressing Enter. 8. You will now be able to read that the file has been prepared for reading. The name will be highlighted on your screen. 9. To start Fs Reader, press control P for Play or Pause. 10. To pause the reading, press Control P, again. Miriam, this will get you started. There are many other controls you can use to advance through the file, speed up or slow down the reading and so on. In answer to your earlier question, the files read by the Fs Reader in this manner are recordings of an actual voice. If you have loaded all of the training files when you installed Jaws, everything you need should be there in one of those files. I hope this helps. JOHN AND LINDA JUSTICE WITH GUIDE DOGS JAKE AND ZACHARY PERSONAL E-MAIL: [email protected] -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Miriam Vieni Sent: Sunday, January 29, 2012 5:50 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [JAWS-Users] How to get information about jaws that is useable to me The easiest way for me to learn is to read simple directions on how to do something and take notes. And then, if I do an operation often enough, I memorize it. Otherwise, I look back at my notes. So I'm wondering where, on the FS website, I can find something to download or copy which describes Jaws 13 and also, how to use Read It. I see that there's material in daisy format, but then I have to find and download the FS Reader. If I do that, does it make it easy to read the material? Aren't there word documents that provide the same information? Hearing the material in a podcast doesn't seem to work. It's just too fast for me. I can't absorb it quickly enough. I'd appreciate any suggestions.
