Catching Up With JAWS: Chapter 4!
Introduction.
Now is your chance to get some high quality training on some of the latest features within the screen-reader JAWS for Windows which have been introduced over the past two years. This follows on from our previous popular training courses on this subject. These training courses are still popular and people are purchasing the older volumes in the series even today!
If you are a person who chooses to upgrade your copy of JAWS on a regular basis, or maybe you've skipped an upgrade or two and you are about to update your computer to JAWS for Windows version 2023, chances are that you may not have had time to get to grips with the latest features the screen-reader offers. While JAWS does contain excellent documentation, there's nothing like someone sitting down with you to explain how many of these new features work. Particularly in the last two years, Vispero have introduced some features which will both keep you informed and productive.
That's why at Hartgen Consultancy, we've created a short course to enable you to get your JAWS knowledge up-to-date. The course focuses upon the new features included with JAWS versions 2022 and 2023.
With the annual subscription to JAWS now available in the US and Canada, (designed to make it easier for people to obtain JAWS or to jump up to the latest release), it's a good chance to get your knowledge updated. Not only that, this training course is ideally suited to users of Zoomtext Fusion too.
Purchasing JAWS is a significant investment, so it is important that you make the most of what you've paid for and that you are taught by someone who fully understands all aspects of using it. You may also be an access technology Trainer, or an I T Lecturer in a College who has a basic awareness of how JAWS works but again is not up to speed with the latest enhancements.
What You Will Learn.
This course has a duration of two hours. It is designed for anyone who already understands how to use many functions of JAWS but who would like to gain a greater skill level with the latest features. The features are demonstrated with real world examples so that they make sense.
