Eric or anyone else on list, Great, thanks these ideas got me headed in right direction. I did pick up the Logitech K810 keyboard to use with it.. One question in installing JAWS with narrator. Is there a quick way to get to the flash drive I've connected with a full version of JAWS 15 on it? This is Windows 8.1 and wow, how different from Windows 7 with that search box that pops up with the windows key. It is also going to take some getting used to with a keyboard without the number keypad and the page up, down button etc.

Eric 1. How much sighted assistance is required in setting it up out of the box? ** It can be done without help but does require some time. You really should get a short cable that does Mini USB (that connect to the Venue) to USB Female so you can move files on from a USB drive to install JAWS that way rather than having to download in the beginning. 2. How do you actually get JAWS on it? With a regular computer one can insert the CD and you are good to go. I'm sure tablets do not have a CD. Possibly put a copy of the exe file for JAWS on a flash drive to install? ** I move files on and off the device with the USB drive connected as I mentioned above. 3. With Window's 8.1 can narrator give you enough to get JAWS up and running. ** Yes, this is what I suggest to get you started. Use Narrator to set up a Blue Tooth Keyboard so you can then have been access to JAWS to get the installation done and start setting up the Tablet. On the Venue, you can toggle Narrator on and off, but pressing the Windows Key (small button on the top of the unit on the right side) and while you press that, you press the up Volume button, second button down on the right edge. (the top button on the right edge is the power button, this is just below the mini USB port). -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Alan Robbins Sent: Wednesday, September 24, 2014 8:10 AM To: Jaws-Users-List Subject: [JAWS-Users] Tablets Listened to Eric & Jonathon on FS cast regarding how affordable tablets are becoming. I liked the sounds of the Dell Venue Eric was describing. My question to Eric or anyone else on list that has one is: 1. How much sighted assistance is required in setting it up out of the box? 2. How do you actually get JAWS on it? With a regular computer one can insert the CD and you are good to go. I'm sure tablets do not have a CD.
