Hi all,

The second edition of my book, "The Windows Screen Reader Primer: All the
Basics and More," is now out. Published by my organization, The Carroll
Center for the Blind, It is available to you for free in Word and ePub
formats. The book is meant to help JAWS, NVDA, and Windows Narrator users
work more effectively with the most important PC applications, including the
Windows operating system, MS Office (Word, Outlook, Excel and PowerPoint),
and the three most popular web browsers (Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and
Mozilla Firefox). Dropbox, OneDrive, and Google Drive for Desktop, the three
most popular cloud-based file-sharing programs, are also covered. So too is
Adobe Acrobat Reader for accessing PDF files. A new chapter on participating
in, scheduling, and hosting Zoom meetings is included in this second
edition. So too is an appendix on using academic style guides for formatting
Word documents. A glossary with over 100 definitions of computer-related
terms and a set of practice exercises are also included.

The book is intended for both beginners and intermediate users. While all
the basics are covered, those already possessing a fair amount of experience
using screen reader programs in the Windows environment will find useful
tools and techniques to further enhance their skills.

You can download the book and make a voluntary donation to the Carroll
Center at:

skip all the payment information fields and click on the download link. The
book should then go directly to your Downloads folder in a ZIP file,
containing three subfolders (chapters in ePub and Word formats, practice
files), and a single file with the full text of the book in Word. Once
downloaded, be sure to copy the subfolders to somewhere else on your
computer. Do not leave them in the ZIP file or they will misbehave. 

If you have any problem downloading the book feel free to contact me
off-list at David.kingsbury at carroll.org <mailto:David.kingsbury at carroll.org>

I hope you find the book to be a useful resource. Please share it with
others.

David
