[Trainer-Talk] Teaching someone using ZoomText when you're a JAWS user

[Mario Eiland]

Hi Sarah,
The American Printing house for the Blind have establish a library of
webinars that they present on different topics.
Here is one on "Adapting ZoomText to Meet Student Needs". It might sound
somewhat rudimentary, but it gives you some ideas of how to go about setting
up ZoomText for your student.
Adapting ZoomText to Meet Student Needs    

You will also find other pertinent webinars here.

Subject: [Trainer-Talk] Teaching someone using ZoomText when you're a JAWS
user

Good evening all,

 

The subject says it all. I'm a JAWS user and my student is a ZoomText user.
How in the world do I teach her to navigate around the screen when I can't
see it and she can't adequately  describe it to me in order for me to figure
out what she's seeing? Sighted assistance on my end is not an option. She
needs to learn how to use ZoomText in order to be productive in her given
tasks, posting to a website and I have no idea how to help her. I'm sure I
can learn the keyboard commands but I haven't used any type of magnification
program in probably about 25 years.

 

Any help/tips/tricks/advice would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you,

Sarah Hale
