Hi all, The second edition of my book, ¡°The Windows Screen Reader Primer: All the Basics and More,¡± is now out. Published by my organization, The Carroll Center for the Blind, It is available to you for free in Word and ePub formats. The book is meant to help JAWS, NVDA, and Windows Narrator users work more effectively with the most important PC applications, including the Windows operating system, MS Office (Word, Outlook, Excel and PowerPoint), and the three most popular web browsers (Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Mozilla Firefox). Dropbox, OneDrive, and Google Drive for Desktop, the three most popular cloud-based file-sharing programs, are also covered. So too is Adobe Acrobat Reader for accessing PDF files. A new chapter on participating in, scheduling, and hosting Zoom meetings is included in this second edition. So too is an appendix on using academic style guides for formatting Word documents. A glossary with over 100 definitions of computer-related terms and a set of practice exercises are also included. The book is intended for both beginners and intermediate users. While all the basics are covered, those already possessing a fair amount of experience using screen reader programs in the Windows environment will find useful tools and techniques to further enhance their skills. You can download the book and make a voluntary donation to the Carroll Center at: On this page, please fill in some basic information about yourself, and activate the Submit button. You will be redirected to a page where you can make a voluntary donation. If you are not interested in making a donation, skip all the payment information fields and click on the download link. The book should then go directly to your Downloads folder in a ZIP file, containing three subfolders (chapters in ePub and Word formats, practice files), and a single file with the full text of the book in Word. Once downloaded, be sure to copy the subfolders to somewhere else on your computer. Do not leave them in the ZIP file or they will misbehave. If you have any problem downloading the book feel free to contact me off-list at David.kingsbury@.... I hope you find the book to be a useful resource. Please share it with others. Best regards, David ? ? |
