Hi all I hope it is OK to ask this here. I am using Jaws and recently bought my Windows 8.1 machine. I had my local tech guy help set things up. He put all the things I normally use like Word, Outlook, Internet etc. on the desktop and told me not to go near the start screen as it is not accessible. He knows a little about Jaws but not a lot. Seeing mention of the weather app caused me to have a bit of a look around on the start screen and I wonder how accessible it is with Jaws as I'd like to be making use of it if some things are accessible. I'm not sure where to start though. I found weather bug as the weather had been mentioned here and got through an agreement for its use but it lands on Auckland our main city and I can't tell if you can change where it looks. I'm sure you can so wondered if anyone has any tips about using things on the start screen if it is in fact usable. Can we also use the touch feature on the screen itself? If this is too broad to be asking on this list just tell me and I'll ask elsewhere. As I am using Jaws 15 though I thought it should be OK to ask at least whether the start screen is accessible even if that's all I can find out. I shall continue to play with tabbing and arrowing around but am wondering if there are shortcuts. Cheers Paula.
