[Electronics-Talk] Looking for training resources for Zoom text

[Tom Evans]

I had such a job.  I did zoom text and the other guy did screen readers and
totally blind.  He was better and knew more and when budget cuts came, they
dumped me.  Which was fine with me.  Of course if you don't use, then it is
not your specialty.  A doctor does not need to have a broken bone, in order
to understand how to fix one.

Well, I have a job interview as an assistive technology instructor and since
I am fully blind I haven't really needed to poke around Zoom Text, but I
think that I am getting a good primer so far. I have a lot of experience
with Assistive Technology, but Zoom Text is my week link. From what I can
tell the other candidates are sighted and their week points are screen
readers in general and I no Jaws, NVDA and Voice Over so I think I am in the
running.

Papa, they have webinars on their website, they have classes in various
cities once in a while, I found their tech support very great for 25 years,
they have a new product I think called fuasion which is a beefed up version
of zoom text and windows.  Also zoom text level 1 is more magnification,
visual colors etc and zoom text level 2 is more of an application reader as
compared to a true screen reader, like jaws.
I use both in conjunction.

Hello list, I am looking for any training resources that would help a
completely blind person using jaws be able to learn Zoom Text. Any help in
finding a resource would be great.
