Subject: [nabs-l] Downloading Images Nonvisually

Hi,

I use JAWS and mostly IE and Firefox. Do any of you have strategies for
downloading images that appear as search results nonvisually? I always
verify whether the image is oriented and sized correctly, but one thing I
would like to do is to download a few images of generic thing that I am
looking for like the beach for instance, and to then get someone's
assistance picking the best one. But I am often unable to focus on the photo
to save it. When I attempt to save the photo, it is an html file, so some
rendition of the web page, and it won't operate like a photo when I attempt
to insert it into a presentation.

What are your strategies for obtaining and keeping track of photos
nonvisually.

Before iOS 6, the custom label feature of VO allowed one to make custom
labels of photos. When this feature went away, I was super disappointed as
about 100 of my photos with descriptive custom labels disappeared and were
replaced with unhelpful descriptors only including the date and time. If I
save photos on my computer, I save them with descriptive file names and ask
people to descriptively label photos that they send me.

But sometimes, I just need a generic image quickly and it has been very
frustrating attempting to navigate Google images and to download a few
images to run by a reader. I know I could just have my reader do this, but I
right click and download other things online and am curious if there are any
particular strategies for focusing on a photo in such a way that I can
download it similarly to other types of files.

Thanks,
