Hi Vicki,



I work for The Paciello Group (TPG). We offer many different kinds of
training and our sister company is Freedom Scientific (Full disclosure: the
training sessions will probably not be free).



You can contact Brian Landrigan at our company, blandrigan at paciellogroup.com
or call him at 603-661-0204. He can help figure out, in collaboration with
you, what training you might need.



To provide a high level answer, screen readers have different controls for
web browsers versus other desktop software so all commands might not be
cross compatible. The available screen reader functions will also depend on
which mode the screen reader is in "virtual reading mode" versus
"interaction/forms" mode.



I'm happy to help where I can in my free time.



Let me know if you have other questions.



Thankx,

Joe Humbert

Subject: [Athen] JAWS and NVDA training help



Our college tests all software that is requesting to be renewed or
purchased. Our department is responsible for this task. Even though we have
the basic skills using both JAWS and NVDA, we want to improve our skill set.
We are both sighted users of these two products.



We are seeking anyone who is willing to do training for us. Both basic and
advanced training. This can be remote training using Zoom video
conferencing, in person, using email or phone calls.



We hit certain walls that even though a YouTube video and other
documentation tells us we are doing things correctly, we can't get it to
work the way it is documented. For example, with NVDA, you can use the quick
heading key of H to navigate headings. In a Word document, neither myself
nor my colleague can get this to work. It just types out H. And, if I
initiate the NVDA elements list (Insert F7) while in a Word document, it
opens google instead.



We have Windows 10 and use the latest versions of NVDA and JAWS 2019.



Any help will be much appreciated.



Thank you.
