Useful Shortcuts

[Ricky] Hi, I'm Ricky Enger. And today, we're gonna learn a few NVDA shortcuts that will help us get exactly the info we need right when we need it. In previous workshops in this series, we've talked about modifier keys, including the NVDA key. We'll be using modifiers for what we're doing today.

So if you're not yet familiar with those, check out the first couple of workshops in this series to get up to speed. So when we think about what a screen reader is, the simple explanation is that it reads what's on our screen, right? When we break it down a little further though, we find out it's not exactly like that.

There's actually a lot of info on the screen and we don't really need all that info all the time. We need a way to ask our screen reader to just focus on the specific info we need and that's where our shortcut keys come in.

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.
