Getting Online Screen Reader: Saving Favorite Websites

Hello, my name is Ricky Enger, and today we'll learn how to save our favorite websites so that we can easily get to them whenever we want. We're using the Google Chrome browser along with NVDA as our screen reader, but the concepts we learn here will be pretty similar, no matter which screen reader and browser we're using. You know, routines are kind of cool sometimes aren't they?

It's nice to have something familiar and enjoyable to look forward to. Maybe it's that first cup of coffee to start the day or a half an hour of quiet time in your favorite chair or browsing through new books to find your next great read. Some of our favorite routines, like browsing for books or reading the latest news, actually involve a website. Since we're visiting that site regularly, it would be really nice if there were a way to get to it quickly and thankfully there is. Let's check it out.

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?
