Greetings JAWS Users!
Is this thing on? Can you hear me?
Okay, whew! Great, this means you have JAWS enabled and we are ready to start.
PSSSST: pro tip, have your fingers on those arrows. For this page, that's how we'll be navigating the text.
The Basics
As you may have noticed, everything on this page is being read out loud. Well, that's the gist of a screen reader. It reads what's on the screen.
Cool?
I know right! There's a bit more to it, but one step at a time!
You've made it here. So I'm guessing you've been using your down arrow. What do you think happens when you press the up arrow? Why don't you try and come back here. I'll wait
Yep, you hear the previous line. Now what happens if you press the right arrow?
Are you reading this letter by letter? Or in other words, character by character? That's what using the right arrow does, and if you press the left arrow, you read the previous character
