<p class="MsoNormal">Hello,<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We have a student who is blind who uses JAWS and Voice Over.  He is assigned large amounts of readings, and would like to skim/scan through all the materials.  Does anyone have any tips or strategies on how to do this with JAWS or Voice
 Over (assuming the readings are accessible)?<u></u><u></u></p>
