[nabs-l] voiceover resources and campus job questions

[Sophie Trist]

Kaiti, I have pasted below a link to an accessible Mac VoiceOver 
user guide. I hope this helps you in your job. I also suggest 
joining the accesible-mac list. I don't know what the 
subscription address is, but it's on freelists and I'm sure you 
can find it. The link is:

Subject: [nabs-l] voiceover resources and campus job questions

Hi NABS,

I've just started working a campus job as a monitor in my music
department's computer lab.  I'm loving it so far, but I have a 
few
questions for those who have had campus jobs and who are familiar 
with
mac computers.

First, a general question.  I have a computer in the lab that has
Windows duel-booted on it so I can use programs like JAWS, Lime 
from
Dancing Dots, etc. The problem though is that as all the other
computers are macs and part of my job is to try to fix computer
problems as they arise, I need to at least learn some voiceover
basics.  Any materials you guys can steer me towards would be
appreciated.

Second, I am working out some of the accessibility and 
communication
issues with my manager.  We're trying to think of ways that I can 
have
access to notes people leave about what they did in shifts before 
me
so I can pick up where they left off.  We are also trying to 
figure
out a system that would allow me to leave notes about my work for 
the
shift after me.  So far our ideas include having whoever works 
the
shifts before mine to email me their note and for me to put a 
sticky
note with my information on the screen of my computer using the 
sticky
note program.  The person after me would just have to check my
computer before doing their work, but that system is not 
full-proof as
I work a closing shift one night a week and will not be able to 
log
into the windows account the next morning for the person after me 
to
see my note.  Any other ideas would be appreciated.

Some of the reading will also involve reading material on CDs and 
DVDs
that I will be editting.  We are also trying to find a fix for 
that as
well as a way I can get that information to propperly file the
material once it is done.

Again, any ideas at all would be appreciated.
