Ricky - Hi, my name is Ricky Enger and today we're gonna talk about the NVDA screen reader. We'll learn a little about what it is and what it does, and we'll take our first steps to getting it working the way we want.
NVDA works with Microsoft Windows. So if you're using something else like a phone or a Mac computer check out our other technology workshops to find out what you need to know for the device you're using.
Okay, so before we talk about how our NVDA screen Reader works, we should know what it is and what it's for, right? Well, NVDA is a program we can install on our computer that will speak what's on our screen.
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?
