[NFBMT] FW: [Nfbnet-members-list] Getting Started with Narrator: a free community workshop with NFB's AT Trainers

[Jim Marks]

FYI, here are details on the Narrator training I mentioned in an earlier post.  With the Windows 10 spring update, Narrator has made some major improvements.  Folks are saying that the updated Narrator is on par with NVDA.  Jaws remains the king, though.

Monday May 21, 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM EDT

This free online workshop is presented  by the National Federation of the Blind Assistive Technology Trainers’ Division.

Are you new to Windows, or new to blindness? Did you decide back in 2010 that Narrator was a joke? Do you need an easy way to work on shared computers or help friends and family with theirs?

Narrator has come a long way in recent years, and we’d like to introduce you to Narrator for Windows 10. With tech coaches Nancy, Janine and Chancey, you’ll find out what you need to know to get started with this free built-in screen reader:

·       How to start it, stop it, and get help

·       Which tasks it works well for, and when you might want to make other plans

·       Adjusting your settings and making it yours

·       Top commands you need to know

·       What’s up with Braille support and touch gestures

Interested? Email Chancey.Fleet at gmail.com <mailto:Chancey.Fleet at gmail.com>  or tweet @ChanceyFleet to receive the Zoom link that lets you in, via the web or your landline phone. If you're an emerging tech user and have a hard time composing email, please call or text 347-632-8383.
