Hello listers, Those of you who do Mac training might be interested in the experience we had this week, teaching a Mac beginner with very little computer experience of any kind. Our client has problems with his hands. He can only press one key with each hand and has trouble finding his way around the keyboard. We discovered that Dictation in the Accessibility pane of System Preferences offers a huge range of commands, and you can assign new ones for yourself. You can even assign commands to key combinations such as Cmd-Shift-d which works for sending mail messages or going to the Desktop. With the judicious placing of markers on certain keys and the addition of quite a few voice commands, our client managed to learn to use Mail and Safari to the degree that he needs them.
If anyone else is facing this kind of difficulty, I’d be happy to pass on any tips I’ve learnt over the past few days. Cheers, Anne -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
