think, from reading your emails, that you will continue to have problems until
you learn to touch type. Unfortunately, in today's education environment, they
do not teach this skill any more. Keyboarding now means that you simply learn
what the keys on the keyboard do and not how to be efficient. Touch typing is
the only way you will ever make progress with your screen
reader.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

has a talking typer program for the computer that will teach you how to touch
type audibly. Many of their products are of the finest quality and they are
especially skilled at education products. Talking Typer is probably the best for
what you need and it is $89. If that is still out of your price range, they also
have Learn Keys: Verbal Keyboard Feedback for $14.95.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

face=Arial>Whether you memorize keyboard short-cuts, or learn to navigate menus
with the keyboard (like a sighted person using a mouse) you HAVE to know how to
touch type. There really is no way around this skill.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

this helped you at least some. Please do not lose heart. It is a tough struggle
but I am sure you can do it with the encouragement you will find on this
list.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

Tonia,<BR><BR> I definitely am still using the
mouse. I seem to have a lot of difficulty with keyboards. Today,
even watching my fingers, and hearing the buttons click, it took four tries to
get the "ctrl" and the "c" buttons to actually copy an email
address.<BR><BR> I am hoping to get the paperwork
processed so I can come in for training.
