An important source of information about how to use programs and what they can do is the help included with just about every program. A large number of blind computer users don't know how to use such help.
This week the Accessible World in partnership with Talking Communities has asked Gene Asner to give a presentation demonstrating how to use a standard Windows help system, the kind used in most programs.
He will also discuss understanding mouse commands and translating them into keyboard commands. Since help is usually written for sighted users, understanding keyboard equivalents
for terms such as click, double left click, and single right click are essential in using most help.
Note:
Gene Asner is the author of a very comprehensive tutorial, "Surfing With Skill", that deals with likely solutions to technical problems people often have
while using the Internet. For more details and ordering information, read about it on the Accessible World web site.
