[NFBP-Talk] Zoom Events Today

[Josh Kennedy]

Hi
Will there be any jaws training that goes over jaws frames and how to customize your applications without being a script writer or programmer? If I remember right, jaws frames let people who are non-scripters, non-programmers to customize applications to speak when they want, how they want, and to assign keypresses to make jaws do things or read things based on frames. If I’m right, jaws frames act like how the old window-eyes windows in its set files used to act, they, too were for non-programmers, non-scripters.
