Touch, listen, learn: Computing without Vision *ADULTS 55+ ONLY*

July 17 @ 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm

A smart phone with several apps visible on the screen.

This workshop will look at three of the most popular screen readers, Narrator, NVDA, and Jaws, and how similarly they operate for basic tasks. An emphasis will be focused on Narrator, as it is built into the Windows environment. Participants will learn how to adjust basic settings, as well as being exposed to checking email, navigating websites, and working with Microsoft Word.

This workshop will be held virtually.

Participants must live in NH, be 55 or older, be able to provide a recent eye report, and have a corrected acuity no greater than 20/50.
