“The third edition of The Windows Screen Reader Primer: All the Basics and More is now out.... It is authored by David Kingsbury, an Assistive Technology Instructor at the Carroll Center for the Blind. The book is meant to help beginning and intermediate JAWS, NVDA, and Windows Narrator users work more effectively with the most important PC applications--like Microsoft Office, email clients, and web browsers. These applications include the Windows operating system, the four primary Office Suite applications (Word, Outlook, Excel and PowerPoint), and the three most commonly used 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. And participating in, scheduling, and hosting Zoom meetings. Appendices include a list of keystrokes, A glossary with over 100 definitions of computer-related terms, academic style guide requirements for formatting Word documents, and a set of practice exercises. New topics since the second edition include a chapter on using the most popular Google Workspace applications, an introduction to artificial intelligence (AI), and audio and video editing.” --Publisher's website.

Hi Richard,

In case of interest, the 4th edition is now out and available from the Carrol Center for the Blind.

It's free and there's no need to be a BARD member.

Cheers,

Ed

Is that the audio book, or the text version?

The Carol Center has the text version, which is how it was originally made.
