People may know that Freedom Scientific has a webinar next Thursday, the 26th, on using JAWS with the new Outlook. I believe it is at noon, Eastern time.

Greetings all:

 

After more than a year of procrastination, I finally decided today to start familiarizing myself with Microsoft's New Outlook program. This New Outlook is planned to supersede what Microsoft now calls Outlook Classic such that support for the Outlook Classic software will be terminated some time in 2029.

 

Vispero, the company which manufactures and sells the JAWS screen reader, has already conducted two webinars on the new Outlook with a third webinar on the New Outlook calendar being presented on Thursday, March 26.

 

I would be happy to hear from anyone on this list who has experience with the New Outlook. I have this distinct perception that the nonvisual interface for screen reader users is far from perfect and even more chaotic and confusing than the Outlook Classic interface, which has evolved over literally decades.

 

I am asking anyone interested in sharing experiences with the New Outlook to contact me directly—either by email at chong.curtis at gmail.com <mailto:chong.curtis at gmail.com>  or by phone at 515-306-1654.

 

Thank you kindly for your willingness to share.

 

Kind regards,

 

Curtis Chong
