[nabs-l] voiceover resources and campus job questions

What is the voice over program again?  Is that the same as sticky notes, or
M I out in left field.  I would like it for future reference.

Hi all,

Thanks for the ideas.  I will definitely check out that user list, and I
plan to use sticky notes like the other workers do as I received
confirmation that that is voiceover accessible.  I'm actually really glad
that works, because I've been the Windows equivalent so far.
(It's in Windows 7 and up for future reference).

The user guide is really going to be helpful; I have a five hour shift on
Saturday and my assignment is just to figure out how to use voiceover for
now.  I'm looking forward to learning it.
