[nabs-l] powerpoint question on embedding objects or videos

[Ashley Bramlett]

Jimmy,
Thanks. This answers some of my questions. I’m still wondering if jaws will recognize embedded videos.
If it does not, how can I access the video? I thought about copying and pasting the URL of the video, but then this requires internet access to click on it and watch. This may or may not happen depending on where I am.
Another idea can be to download the video and just click on the file separately rather than being in a powerpoint. 
I don’t know how to download  youtube videos though.

Thanks for any advice.

Ashley

Hello Ashley Bramlett, 


I do not use JAWS or any version of JAWS 16 at all but this is an article from Microsoft that might help answer your questions.

I have attached the link below, if you have any further problems please do not hesitate to e-mail me off list. I have also asked the question to our tech division list so they could provide other feedback as well. I hope thsi helps.

Providing feedback to Microsoft at teh end of teh article with a click on yes or no is what you have to do after reading the artcile if you want tod o so. 

Here is the link:

  Hi all,

  I’d like to enhance my presentation with audio clips, videos from youtube and hyperlinks.
  I’ve learned how to do some of this from the internet. For creating hyperlinks, it seems easy; it’s a matter of selecting the text you want as a link and clicking on hyperlink in the context menu and then adding what to link to. For videos, I learned that if you click on the shared button in youtube, then embed, plus  a few more steps, you can embed it in your presentation.

  So, I’ve learned this.

  Unfortunately, I think it is inaccessible.

  Will jaws or any screen reader recognize hyperlinks, sound clips, or embedded objects which are videos?

  If so, how?

  So far it seems to ignore them as if the hyperlinks and embedded objects are not there. Yet, I see them, so I know I did this correctly. Your hyperlink is a different color if done right. If jaws fails to see them, I cannot click on them with the keyboard.
  I rarely use the mouse and I’m not sure my eyes will be able to see and track the mouse arrow to click on anything.

  I sure hope there is a way for hyperlinks to work. I know they do when reading word files, so I just assumed they would work in powerpoint.

  I use version 2010. Thanks for any help!

  Ashley
