I listened to a podcast from Freedom Scientific yesterday on using tracked Changes in Word and Jaws. Out of a 36 minute podcast, I learned 2 or 3 really good tips. About 5 useful minutes at most. The podcast hosts mentioned that there would be a document posted that would give the key commands, but I can't find any such document's for any of the podcasts. Does anyone know where I can find them?

General tips, or...?

Hi,

Are you asking about general JAWS tips or tips for JAWS within a particular app or interface?

Edit: Here is a link from FS detailing general hotkeys. I hope you find it useful. 😊

Thanks Brian, but not quite this.

Thanks, this is a useful document and I've added it to my favorites. What I was looking for though are the documents that are apparently posted after each podcast with tips for working in specific apps like Word or Excel.

FS Webinars

I do not know if you have ever listened to these, but here are some Webinars for using JAWS and the Ribbons in Office apps.
Might be useful.

If I find any kind of Office cheat sheet I will post here. 🙂

Companion

The FSCompanion, now renamed Vispero Companion it appears, is availble with JAWSKey+space F1. It is a specifically trained chatbot for JAWS docs. The most efficient is often just to ask it. Better than 36 minutes of talking!
Also, JAWSKey+F1 will give you hot keys at teh location you're focused at, but I assume you know that and is only hlpeful sometimes. In my opinion.

Resource files

Vispero posts the recordings and resource files for all of their webinars on this page. As the webinar on Track Changes was the most recent one, it's the first webinar listed. When you activate the link, you'll see a summary of what was covered and who presented the webinar followed by links to recordings and the resource file in various formats.

Insert J Club

And if you join the Insert J Club, various resources will be emailed to you, including the resource files for some webinars a couple of days before they run.

Thanks

Thanks all for the tips. I did find the file on the Track Changes webinar. I found that most of the others don't appear to have a resource file. I will try the assistance thingy at work tomorrow.

I really appreciate the assist,
Louise
