Freedom Scientific<p>To celebrate 30 years of JAWS, we're launching a new training series highlighting notable features available in JAWS.</p><p>In our first session, we cover Quick Navigation Keys; what they are, how to use them, and how they make browsing the web more efficient with JAWS.</p><p>Listen to or watch the training here:<br><a href="https://www.freedomscientific.com/webinars/use-jaws-quick-navigation-keys-to-navigate-web-pages/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">freedomscientific.com/webinars</span><span class="invisible">/use-jaws-quick-navigation-keys-to-navigate-web-pages/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/JAWS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>JAWS</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/JAWS30" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>JAWS30</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/FreedomScientificTraining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FreedomScientificTraining</span></a></p>
Devin Prater :blind:<p>On one hand:</p><p>Well, here we go y'all, the web has gotten so complex for blind people that we need an LLM to give us just the text from a page, or to tell us if a page has a buy button on it.</p><p>On the other hand:</p><p>Blind people have so few resources for learning websites and browsers that we don't know about Reader Mode, or any ways to, for example, get a Wikipedia page without all the annoying links in articles, or use the find command to search for a "buy" button.</p><p>Either way, needing an LLM for things like this is sad. I really hope it calls tools in JAWS to, say, use flexible web to get rid of article links instead of trying to return the whole page of plain text without AI hallucinations.</p><p><a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>accessibility</span></a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/ai" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ai</span></a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/llm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>llm</span></a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/jaws" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>jaws</span></a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/blind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>blind</span></a></p>

WestphalDenn<p>Yesterday I sped through the <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/NVDA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NVDA</span></a> Expert Certificate just to kill some time before dinner. Having used NVDA off and on again for several years I wanted to know how much still was in my head. Turns out it was enough to pass. Since I wanted to donate anyway I decided to order all their training material and since I passed the test, ordered a certificate as well. Still came in to about 10 percent of a <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/JAWS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>JAWS</span></a> License. Looking forward to getting more familiar to working with MS Office with NVDA.
