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

[Nusbaum, Christopher]

I think Jim was referring to turning Narrator on using the touch screen, similar to the triple click home command in iOS. Unfortunately, I am not sure how to do this on a Surface tablet.

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

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
