Everyday Tasks

- [Ricky] Hi, I am Ricky Enger, and today we're gonna show how NVDA works for everyday tasks on our computer. We'll be using a lot of concepts we learned in previous workshops in this series, so it's a good idea to check those out first to be ready for what we're doing today. Alright, we've got NVDA sounding the way we want and we know some pretty cool shortcuts now, so our next step is to just jump in and begin using our computer. Let's start by opening an app. We have lots of ways to do that, but for now, we'll use our start menu. So let's press the windows key on our keyboard.

- [NVDA] Start window. Search window. Search box edit blank.

- [Ricky] Okay, NVDA told us a few things and it can take a little getting used to when it comes to figuring out what all this means. Let's pay close attention to that last thing NVDA said, search box edit blank.

Now that you've had a chance to learn a bit with us, we'd like to learn more about you. Your email address, name, 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 are 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 the Hadley team. So now is your chance to sign up and join us.
