Hi Petrus and list, Yes petrus,
Regarding Jonathans book on Zoom. Hope this helps and yes it’s focus is on jaws but the theory will work the same for mac users also. Good luck. Hi all, Jonathan Mosen’s audiobook is available which for the time being is free which will help anyone get started with attending and hosting meetings using Zoom. http://www.mosen.org/zoom See more information below. Meet Me Accessibly, a guide to Zoom Cloud Meetings from a blindness perspective If you attend meetings online, you’ve probably heard of Zoom Cloud Meetings. They’re now the platform of choice for 50% of the Fortune 50 companies, and are used by many universities worldwide. Zoom Cloud Meetings are just as popular with small businesses and community groups as well, offering a generous set of features absolutely free, and even more power for a small monthly fee. If by chance you’ve not heard of Zoom Cloud Meetings, then you’re missing out on one of the most powerful online meeting solutions around. And you know what’s really cool? The accessibility of its apps and website are excellent. Bid those days of frustrating, inaccessible, fiddly collaboration and content sharing tools goodbye. Meet Me Accessibly is a three-hour audiobook, written and narrated by Jonathan Mosen. It takes you from the basics of attending your first Zoom meeting, all the way to content sharing of your video and audio from a computer or device. Just some of the things Jonathan shows you in Meet Me Accessibly include: o Attending your first Zoom meeting o Working with and configuring the Windows client o Working with and configuring the iOS client o Creating compelling and effective online meetings of up to 100 participants for discussions or webinars o Using Zoom to have a sighted person take control of your computer, even a Mac user can control a Windows PC and vice versa o Running visually attractive presentations using PowerPoint, or by sharing the output of any application on your computer o Using the high-quality, low-latency audio capabilities of Zoom for one-on-one conversations o Holding global Internet and telephone conferences o Taking advantage of the exceptional audio for use in a podcast, including creating separate audio files for every participant for use in a multitrack editor such as Amadeus Pro or Reaper o Recording meetings and podcast interviews on your iPhone, thanks to the Zoom cloud recording capability o Recording top-quality tech demonstrations thanks to the easy-to-use ability for Zoom to capture your computer’s sound o Sharing the screen and audio from apps on your device o Enabling stereo audio o Turning off Zoom’s audio processing for pure, top-quality sound o Scheduling meetings o Holding instant meetings o Using your personal meeting ID As you can see, there’s so much that Zoom can do, you’ll wonder how you lived without it. In Meet Me Accessibly, Jonathan uses JAWS for Windows, the world’s most used screen reader when working with Windows. When discussing Zoom’s mobile offerings, he uses an iPhone running VoiceOver, the screen reader built into all iOS products. But the user interface of Zoom adheres closely to accessibility standards, so even if you use a different platform or screen reader, you should still be able to glean much from the demonstrations and descriptions.

Or if it is indeed free. On 26/03/2020, at 10:39, Timothy Emmons <temmo...@gmail.com<mailto:temmo...@gmail.com>> wrote: Good afternoon guys. I haven’t written in a while so I thought I might field a question in hopes that somebody can help direct me where i need to go. I am a librarian for the Library for the blind and Physically Handicapped here in Alabama. I have a patron needing anything on voiceover and Zoom, things as far as how to use it, how accessible etc. I’ve given him some pointers and information but I don’t know how to host a Zoom conference, just join those when I get invites and such. Are there instructions on using Zoom with Voiceover either with Cattalina or IOS so he can get started? He may be hosting a few things from time to time so was just curious. Anything anyone can come up with would be great. Thanks. -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
