Does the library have reading software for visually impaired people?
Yes! The library provides a software called JAWS. JAWS is a screen reading software allowing visually impaired people to use the internet and other computer applications. Once it is activated on a PC, the PC reads and narrates based on the actions of the user. On the librarys ADA terminal, take the following steps to use JAWS: • Turn on the PC. • Turn on the PC speakers, below the monitor on the right. • Click Start, Programs, JAWS. • JAWS Box will open automatically, but there is no need to use this except to quit (or to practice). • JAWS sets hot keys to allow user navigation via the keyboard rather than the mouse. Proficient JAWS users can manipulate the program with ease. Beginners will be very frustrated that certain keys no longer work properly.
