For many of us, JAWS is the critical tool we need to work with Windows computers and applications. I can personally vouch for the quality of training provided by Hartgen Consultancy.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Cordially,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Curtis Chong<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><h1>Catching Up With JAWS Chapter 5!<o:p></o:p></h1><h2>Introduction.<o:p></o:p></h2><p>Now is your chance to get some high quality training on some of the latest features within the screen-reader JAWS for Windows which have been introduced over the past three years. This follows on from our previous popular training courses on this subject. These training courses are still popular and people are purchasing the older volumes in the series even today!<o:p></o:p></p><p>If you are a person who chooses to upgrade your copy of JAWS on a regular basis, or maybe you\u2019ve skipped an upgrade or two and you are about to update your computer to JAWS for Windows version 2026, chances are that you may not have had time to get to grips with the latest features the screen-reader offers. This is particularly relevant as of recent months. The JAWS licensing has changed even in the UK, and so it is important to bring people up to speed with the latest innovations. While JAWS does contain excellent documentation, there\u2019s nothing like someone sitting down with you to explain how many of these new features work. Particularly in the last three years, Vispero have introduced some features which will both keep you informed and productive.<o:p></o:p></p><p>That\u2019s why at Hartgen Consultancy, we\u2019ve created a short course to enable you to get your JAWS knowledge up-to-date. The course focuses upon the new features included with JAWS versions 2024 through to 2026.<o:p></o:p></p><p>Purchasing JAWS is a significant investment, so it is important that you make the most of what you\u2019ve paid for and that you are taught by someone who fully understands all aspects of using it. You may also be an access technology Trainer, or an I T Lecturer in a College who has a basic awareness of how JAWS works but again is not up to speed with the latest enhancements.<o:p></o:p></p><h2>What You Will Learn.<o:p></o:p></h2><p>This course has a duration of approximately two hours. It is designed for anyone who already understands how to use many functions of JAWS but who would like to gain a greater skill level with the latest features. The features are demonstrated with real world examples so that they make sense. <o:p></o:p></p><p>Each topic is contained within its own MP3 audio file and text document.<o:p></o:p></p><p>Topics include:<o:p></o:p></p><ul type=disc><li class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'>Why JAWS 2026 could be the best upgrade in recent years.<o:p></o:p></li><li class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'>Using FSCompanion.<o:p></o:p></li><li class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'>How to use FSCompanion to assist with JAWS Scripting and guidance notes on keeping it on track.<o:p></o:p></li><li class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'>Changes in Picture Smart.<o:p></o:p></li><li class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'>Announcing the Work Week.<o:p></o:p></li><li class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'>Explaining the Early Adopter Programme.<o:p></o:p></li><li class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'>The AI Labeler.<o:p></o:p></li><li class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'>Changes in Microsoft Outlook, Teams, Word and Web Browsers.<o:p></o:p></li><li class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'>New in JAWS 2026.<o:p></o:p></li></ul><h2>Training Course Date.<o:p></o:p></h2><p>This training course will be held using Zoom Conferencing on Wednesday 12 November at 7 PM UK time, 2 PM US Eastern.<o:p></o:p></p><h2>How to Purchase.<o:p></o:p></h2><p>Catching Up with JAWS is priced £35 which is approximately 45 American dollars.<o:p></o:p></p><p>Alternatively, anyone can purchase the course by sending an Email to <a href="mailto:jaws@hartgen.org">jaws@hartgen.org</a>, whereupon a fully accessible electronic invoice will be sent to you which can be paid through PayPal or any major credit or debit card. <o:p></o:p></p><h2>Conclusion.<o:p></o:p></h2><p>Be sure you are at the cutting edge of JAWS-based technology and become familiar with everything in the past three releases. You\u2019ll be glad you did!<o:p></o:p></p><p><a href="https://hartgenconsultancy.com/catching-up-with-jaws-chapter-5/">https://hartgenconsultancy.com/catching-up-with-jaws-chapter-5/</a><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:white'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div></div></body></html>
