Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws iTunes
Itunes has been very jaws friendly since version 10 and up. You can use the tab key to get around, and even put your searches in a list view by using F6. Jonathan Mosen does a great pod cast on Itunes with jaws. You can find the direct link for this podcast here http://www.freedomscientific.com/FSCast/default.asp This should tell you all you want to know. It's 2 parts, and part 2 will be released this month. -Original Message- From: jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Dale Leavens Sent: Sunday, December 26, 2010 8:42 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws iTunes Although I can't find my Jaws 10 and 11 CDs so am using 9 which also does not play well with iTunes, and so can't help you, I can share your frustration!

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws iTunes
Best way to use it with jaws is tab key, don't even bother with cursors. As far as using it for playing and moving content around it handles that just fine. Its one of those apps you have to study a bit, because it won't spoon feed you like most apps.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws iTunes
Dale, I have since heard there are scripts written by a company. I have also heard they are expensive. I would rather spend money on more woodworking tools than scripts. I will try NVDA if I don't get an answer here. Max.
