[blindLaw] screen sharing with Zoom

Thu Dec 17 20:54:36 UTC 2020

With NVDA I think you can use the recognise screen thing, which is NVDA+R. Guess the recognise feature in JAWS should do it as well? Assume both would also pick up whatever other random stuff is on the screen apart from the main text of the document. I have never tried it out myself. I have never been in a situation where the thing in question couldn't either be emailed to me or put into a google doc or on google drive or dropbox. Or just read out. But yeah, not ideal
