[stylist] advice ab switching from PC+Jaws to tablet forwriting?

[Applebutter Hill]

Hi Bonnie,
Many thanks to you and your hubby. I'd heard about the HP Stream, but not
the Lenovo Yoga. I appreciate the heads-up about not getting just the RT
version of Windows.
Blessings,
Donna

HI Donna, I spoke with my husband, the resident geek of the family who
happens to work for Freedom Scientific, and this is what he says on the
subject. Smile Any windows tablet will run JAWS, but make sure it is running
a full version of Windows and not Windows RT. The Lenovo Yoga and HPStream
are really nice, and if the tablet is Bluetooth capable, you can pair a
keyboard with it. They make some great cases which make the tablet look like
a tiny laptop.
I know writers who use iPads--minis or Airs with the Bluetooth keyboards,
and they work great as well.

Hope this helps!

Kind Regards
Bonnie

Hi Friends,
There are many times when I don't want to power up my PC but I'd like to be
able to jot down ideas for a story or article. I like the looks of those
little tablets everyone has, and I understand they make attachable keyboards
for them. I think with my hand issues I couldn't use a virtual keyboard.

Consumer Reports just did a piece about tablets, and they liked the Sansom
ones the best. Anyway, any hints about switching to tablets? Does the
Android screen reader let you do editing on some kind of document file that
could be then loaded onto my regular Windows 7 PC? Can you use keyboard
commands for navigation or do you have to use the touch screen? Any hints
about making the switch would be much appreciated.
Blessings,
Donna
