VoiceOver Basics for Beginners
This video is a great companion to the podcasts because it provides a visual and audio walkthrough of the very first steps a beginner needs to take when turning on VoiceOver.

When I first started using VoiceOver on the iPhone I found a podcast that had a series "iPhone 101" which went through everything you could do with VoiceOver in a nice simple way. It had an episode on one finger gestures, then another on two etc. It was really helpful and not overwhelming you by throwing everything at you all at once. It was part of the Blind Abilities podcast.

I replied to this on the podcast thread, but I will post it here as well. It is a reply to another user, so the wording may seem a little strange.

Although I'm fairly certain this works on Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome as well, for Windows, press applications key (or press shift plus F10), to open the context menu, arrow down to save link as, or save file as, and press enter. File will auto download to your Downloads folder. You can access that folder quickly by pressing Windows key plus 'm' to get to the desktop, hold Windows key and press 'r' to initiate the Run dialogue, type "Downloads" (without quotes) and press Enter. Your downloads folder will open, and your new shiny podcast file will be right there. It is fairly similar for macOS. VO plus shift plus M on the podcast hyperlink, choose save as, or save file as, or save link as, however it is written, and then it will save to your Downloads folder. Press command plus option plus 'l' to open your Downloads folder directly from macOS desktop.
