[Trainer-talk] Screen Reader Users Teaching Magnification Software?

[Nimer Jaber]

Hello,

I teach both types of users and haven't ever ran into any issues... also 
haven't had users describe what you are describing, either. I know the 
layout of a screen and can talk about visual aspects and elements, and I 
can give a general idea of where these things are located on the 
screen.  I find it much easier actually to teach a visual user Zoomtext 
than I do to teach a non-visual user.  I am non-visual myself.

Thanks.
