[Trainer-talk] Fwd: assessment of current JAWS / Braillenote skills

[FRED TCHANG]

sorry, forgot to get back to this thread. I checked with Michael, and he is
fine with sharing this resource with everyone. Nice tool.

Fred:  I am attaching an assessment tool I helped to  develop for JAWS
users which might help you.  We don't have a Braillenote assessment tool,
but if you ever come across one, or if I develop one, let's share.

Cordially,
