[Trainer-talk] WindowEyes question

[David Goldfield]

Hi, Jim.
By default, Window-Eyes should read cell coordinates and any data 
contained within the cell. Insert-V brings up a dialog of verbosity 
options and pressing f1 on each item gives you a little bit of help 
text, usually quite good help at that, explaining the function. It's 
simple but the interface is quite different from JAWS. I think that your 
student should consider the fact that a trainer needs some preparation 
time to learn the software he or she wants to know about. Therefore, if 
your student insists on switching screen readers, you have the right to 
inform him that you need a reasonable amount of prep time in order to 
offer quality instruction.
