Hi Jim,
I think you could probably swipe to the right like you do in iOS to navigate maybe.

Subject: [Trainer-talk] Touch screen tablets, Narrator and JAWS

Hi there,



Question.  After seeing a great Tablet last week (having Windows 8.1 and Office 13), I decided it would be good to have one which works fully with JAWS.

However, I'm going to need to set it up, and to do this, I'll need to use Narrator.

Is there a way to activate Narrator on the touch screen with a touch command, since the Bluetooth keyboard hasn't been hooked up yet?

I think once Narrator is hooked up, I can probably do the rest; although, I've never had a tablet before that hasn't been an Apple product like an iPhone or iPod Touch.

Any advice here?

Jim
