Hi April,<br>
Do you have a Perkins style Braille keyboard with a refreshable
Braille output? This would allow you to read the text on the screen
without relying on your hearing.<br>

problem I can see with JAWs, other than not being able to
configure it for the browsers, is the volume. With my
massive hearing loss as well, and the volume at 100%, it
sounds like a whisper. Is it worth my time to learn this
program, if I can't hear the speakers? My hearing and
comprehension is rapidly decreasing. I'm going to ask on
the deaf blind group what they use. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
