Just FYI. Using Search Engines to Find Information on the Web Search Engines Search engines on the World Wide Web are remotely accessible programs that let you do keyword searches for information on the Internet. There are several types of search engines and searches may cover titles of documents, URL's, headers, or full text. Keep in mind that the results you get from one search engine may not match the results you get from another search engine. In fact, they are often different due to the way each search engine behaves. Therefore, it may actually be beneficial to use more than one search engine on a regular basis. In this section, we will briefly look at Google and Yahoo. Web pages are often dynamic and can change at any time. As a result, you may find that if either site changes, your experience with JAWS may be different than what is described. Google.com When you first go to the Google Web site there is a blinking cursor in an edit box where you can type the word or phrase that you are interested in. The first thing you need to do is press the ENTER key to go into Forms Mode with JAWS. Once you are in Forms Mode, you can then type in keywords that will define your search. After you have typed in some text, press ENTER to activate the Search button. Google only returns Web pages that contain all of the words in your query. If you find that you get too many hits or Web pages that match your search, you can enter more words in your search query to narrow the choices. Using good keywords gives you better results. Be as specific as you can. For example, a search for the keyword musicians will yield far more results than a search for the keywords Elvis Presley. You do not need to include and between terms, but the order in which you type your keywords will affect the search results. You can also search for a specific phrase by including words in quotation marks. Google searches are not case sensitive. You can also use the following items within your keywords for Google searches: . + (plus) sign. Causes Google to include common words or characters that Google normally might ignore, such as where and how. If a common word is important in getting the results you want, you can include it by putting a + sign in front of it. (Be sure to include a space before the + sign.) . - (minus) sign. Causes Google to exclude a word from your search. For example, bass can refer to fishing or music. You can exclude music-related hits by searching for bass -music. (Be sure to include a space before the minus sign.) . ~ (tilde) sign. Causes Google to include synonyms of a particular keyword in the search. . OR searches are also supported. Use an uppercase OR between terms. The I'm Feeling LuckyT button takes you directly to the first Web page Google returned for your query. You will not see the other search results at all. For example, to find the home page for Stanford University, simply enter Stanford into the search box and choose the I'm Feeling LuckyT button. Google takes you directly to www.stanford.edu, the official home page of Stanford University. To find listings for a US residence, type any of the following combinations into the Google search box: . first name (or first initial), last name, city (state is optional) . first name (or first initial), last name, state . first name (or first initial), last name, area code . first name (or first initial), last name, zip code . phone number, including area code . last name, city, state . last name, zip code Try a search for Freedom Scientific. Use this link to go to the Google Web site. On the results page, there are a couple of things you can do to get more information about the results of the search: . The statistics of your search are typically placed between the search edit box and the search results. You can press DOWN ARROW a few times to find this line or you can use the JAWS find command CTRL+F to look for the words Personalized Results and then read that line. For example, when testing this the search found Personalized Results 1 - 10 of about 37,700,000 for Freedom Scientific. (0.11 seconds). This can be useful if you need to narrow the search. . The items found as a result of your search are placed on the page as both links and headings. You can press the navigation quick key H to move quickly among the headings that match your search. Since they are also links, you can press ENTER to activate them and move to those Web pages of interest. . Below each heading (and link) that match your search is a short synopsis of what that page is about. After pressing H to move to a heading (link) just press

Re: [AI] detailed instructions need on using NVDA with Eloquence.
Dear list members: I thank all of you for your overwhelming responses on the subject mentioned above. A few points to be considered. 1. Can we purchase the Eloquence as a single synthesizer? If so, what would be its cost? I think it's not possible from one of your responses. 2. I've almost dropped the idea of using NVDA with Eloquence. 3. What are the other speech synthesizers that work on par with Eloquence (E-speak, outloud, Indian English synthesizer Sangita of JAWS and ConnectLoud)? And where can we find them? Can any one send me the source and the instructions to install and use the same? 4. What are the differences between Sapi4 and Sapi5 voices? I'm not considering the installation of Kurzwell on to the Pc's and getting the Eloquence recognised by NVDA. The reason, just because it's around 700 MB in size. It's more than XP in size. So all your responses will be remembered for ever. Hope to see at list some of you in Retina India chapter meeting in Hyderabad today!! -- For everything you gain in life, you lose something else.

[AI] BSNL 3G services in all 760 cities soon
BSNL 3G services in all 760 cities soon Staff Reporter KANCHEEPURAM: The Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited's target to roll out 3G services in 760 cities will be achieved by this fiscal, according to its Chairman and Managing Director Gopal Das. Talking to mediapersons after a function on Rajiv Gandhi Salai in Padur, near Kelambakkam, on Saturday, he said the pan-India presence enjoyed by BSNL had helped in smooth and easy rollout of 3G services in 700 cities. In the remaining 60 cities, the 3G services would be rolled out by March 31, he said. Earlier, he inaugurated BSNL's new broadband service offered through fibre-optic cables to the occupants of 'Mantri' - a residential complex promoted by Mantri Developers. The new broadband service - Fibre to the Home (FTTH) - utilises fibre-optic cables and optical electronics instead of copper wire and DSL equipment, Mr.Gopal Das said. There were plans to provide FTTH service to high-end customers in 127 cities across the country. The BSNL CMD also launched Smart Payphone Card services in Chennai Telecom District (CTD), where the phone card could be used to make calls from specially designed PCO boxes. Chief General Manager of BSNL Chennai Telephones, A.Subramanian said the launch of FTTH would help improve business prospects of BSNL in the Chennai region. http://www.hindu.com/2011/01/23/stories/2011012360370100.htm When you feel afraid or nervous to do a thing then do it because the real harm which you may thus receive is less poignant than its expectation and fear.

[AI] How to Prepare a Resume
Some argue that you don't really need one, but you should know how to prepare a resume. Writing individual letters to every prospective employer and headhunter is time consuming (and overkill). Let's run over some general rules. Size and shape Conventional wisdom says that you should keep your resume down to a page because HR people poring through thousands of resumes stop reading after a page. Let's face it, your chance of being hired because of the impression your resume made among a pack of thousands is slim to none. Your resume is more likely to be noticed if you write a dynamite cover letter, and if you write to the hiring manager as well as to HR. So if you have something worth saying in two pages, say it. Of course, if you can cut the resume down to one by using bullet points instead of paragraphs, so much the better. If your resume is ever printed (which it may not be in this e-mail age), you'll save everyone the trouble of stapling it. You don't want a one-and-a-quarter page resume. It shows lack of planning. Cosmetics are important. The top of your resume should match the letterhead on your cover letter. Spacing should be consistent and adequate for easy reading. Look in resume books at the library or in a bookstore for ideas. Don't look at any books that are more than three years old; resume looks go in and out of style fast. After you've decided what you want, see whether your word processor comes with resume software that you can customize. Stick to one simple font, and one or two type sizes no smaller than 10 points. Some employers have bad eyesight. Don't use color, for the same reason. No photos; they make some HR people violent. Try e-mailing it to yourself and some friends to make sure it comes out well. Ask the friends to proof too. One misspelling and you could be out of consideration. Hiring managers often think, understandably, that someone who can't take the time to proof a resume won't be conscientious on the job. Content Resumes are marketing pieces. They're not legal documents. That's why many employers make you fill out applications, which have to be signed. Employers don't need your whole biography; they just need to know how your experience is relevant to the job. That's why, while you should tell the truth and nothing but the truth, there's no reason to tell the whole truth. Items that shouldn't be in resumes include objectives, which you see in old resume books. Employers don't care what you want, they care what they want. A concise summary of your qualifications and experience, on the other hand, is useful. No personal information. No height, weight, health, marital status or hobbies unless they're interesting and unusual like helicopter skiing or dulcimer-playing or collecting antique ice-cream makers. You don't need References are available on request. Of course they are. It's fine to limit employment de¬scriptions to the past 10 years, unless you have old experience you want people to know about. Summarize your early life in a short section called Other Experience, and be sure to highlight anything interesting. Everyone notices the bullet point, A stint in the CIA. Education should be after experience unless you've been out of school for three years or less. Never list your high school if you graduated from college. Dates of graduation aren't necessary and, for the great majority of you who aren't in your thirties and are therefore often considered either too young or too old, are undesirable. Office skills can go into your summary if you're apply¬ng for a secretarial or call-center job; otherwise, put them at the end or leave them out. HR people tell you to list employment dates with months, because they like to see whether the job you held 1999-2001 lasted one year or two. There's nothing in it for you, though. Year-only listings enable you to leave off your four months with the company from hell without appearing to have a gap between jobs. On that subject, HR people hate gaps. If you have them, try to account for them. A functional resume in which you group your skills by category, such as accounting and market research and list your employers briefly at the end, is useful not only to deflect attention from a checkered history but also to describe a career that may have taken untraditional paths. Some job boards don't accept functional resumes, so you may need a chronological version too. If resumes are scanned into databases in your industry, be sure to include all the possible buzzwords that describe your skills. A headhunter told me about a satellite TV engineer who was weeded out because his resume didn't mention dishes. A paralegal may miss an opportunity for a legal assistant. Sell yourself. Remember, this is marketing. Use power words. You didn't file; you organized. You didn't make phone calls; you coordinated. You didn't type; you produced. Whether or not you hit the one-page mark, brief is

For instance, we can insert pictures through clipart, and use word art options with JAWS. Simply select the text, and simply apply the desired word art option. Similar provisions can work out with other features that you've talked about as well. You may write in for more help. Hope this helps.
