Re: [JAWS-Users] Touch cursors
Yes, you don't need a touch screen to use the touch cursor with JAWS just enable it with JAWS key and plus or is it shift and plus on the PC keyboard, I am sure someone will confirm. It is brilliant for flicking around the screen with the arrow keys when the screen is not that accessible. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of wayne smith Sent: 10 February 2018 22:23 To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] Touch cursors Hello all- My computers are old and do not have touch screens.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Touch cursors
There are archived Webinars on the freedom Scientific Web site, that go over using the touch cursor in JAWS to use Windows 8.1 and Windows 10, and it just allows you to press the arrow keys to simulate a flick or swipe in the direction of the arrow key. You do not need a touch screen for the touch cursor to work in JAWS. You need JAWS 16, I believe, or maybe 15, to have the touch cursor built into JAWS. You can use the touch cursor in apps, just like using a phone. For example, you can use the touch cursor to flick through the Windows 10 news universal app. David Moore Sent from Mail for Windows 10 From: JM Casey Sent: Saturday, February 10, 2018 6:31 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Touch cursors Hey. Yes, there is. Some of the new Windows app require the use of the touch cursor to read or even activate things on the screen.
