Hi List, I would like to announce the publication of a free eBook called Getting Back to Work with JAWS. It is a guide for people who have never used JAWS before, but who need to use a screen reader to become productive again with their computer. To download the book for free, please visit http://www.backtoworkblind.blogspot.com/
The book itself is a zipped set of Rich Text Format (RTF) files that can be read using any word processor. There is absolutely no cost, ads, registrations r commercial aspects to this whatsoever. I wrote this book after losing my vision three years ago. As many of you know, it is hard work adjusting to using a computer entirely through a keyboard and synthesized speech. At first, even the simplest of tasks can seem overwhelming. My hope is that this book will give new JAWS users techniques, tips, and strategies needed to become a productive JAWS user in a very short period of time. It covers the basics of working with Windows 7, the Internet, and Microsoft Office programs. I would love to receive feedback on how to make the book even more useful for new JAWS users. Please feel free to send me any comments or suggestions at [email protected]. George Calvert For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
