[nfbcs] Phrasing Things RE: JAWS and Google Chrome Browser

[Dr. Denise M Robinson]

You can actually do a lot in Chrome with Jaws and cursor movement...yes
chrome vox makes it come alive and highly suggest it, but know that you can
do a lot without it too. Try it so you can compare before downloading
chrome vox--or download and turn it off to compare---it is always good to
have lots of information about what you use
