Ricky: Hello, my name is Ricky Enger
and today we'll begin working with messages
in Microsoft Outlook.
We'll open and read a message,
learn a couple of ways to close a message
and we'll delete messages we no longer need.
We're using NVDA as our screen reader,
but the concepts we learn here will be pretty similar
no matter which screen reader we're using.
Anticipation, it's that thing we feel
when we've ordered something
and we're waiting for it to ship
or when we're sitting by the phone, hoping for that call
giving us good news.
Or when we're listening for that sound from Outlook
signifying that a new message has arrived.
(beeping)
Yeah, that sound!
What is it?
What did we get?
Let's open it!
Feels like Christmas morning, doesn't it?
Okay, maybe not, but it's still kind of exciting
when we receive a message we've been waiting for.
Like this one from Hadley
with information about talking tablets.
Screen Reader: Unread from LearnTech,
subject re: talking tablets.
Ed: Now that you've had a chance to learn a bit with us,
we'd like to learn more about you.
Your name, email address, how you heard about Hadley,
and your relationship to vision loss.
Learning more will give us a better understanding
of how to personalize Hadley just for you
and don't worry, everything you share with us online
will be kept safe and secure.
Of course, if you'd prefer to talk through these questions,
we're just a phone call away,
at 800-323-4238.
Taking these few steps saves your preferences
so you can continue right where you left off
and track your progress every time you log on.
Plus, it connects you to the Hadley community
and helps sustain our funding
to keep Hadley free of charge.
And last, but not least, it gives you direct access
to experts, like me.
Now, where were we?
