The key to controlling online media players lies in turning off the virtual

cursor by pressing Insert Z. When this is accomplished, tab through the web page until system focus reaches the media player (you will often need to tab through a bunch of links before you get there). On most sites, you will know that you are where you need to be when JAWS announces the presence of a "scrubber," or when you press Tab and JAWS doesn't say anything (apart from alerting you that you pressed the Tab key if you have it set to speak access keys). At this point, you should be able to do the following quite successfully: 1. Press the Spacebar to pause the video and to resume playback. 2. Use the left and right arrow keys to rewind and fast forward respectively. 3. Use the up and down arrow keys to adjust the volume. Don't forget to press Insert Z to reactivate the virtual cursor when you are done, as you will otherwise not be able to navigate the web page. I don't know if these shortcuts work in all video environments, but they do generally work with Adobe Flash Player and Microsoft Silverlight. Good luck, and please share any additional strategies you come up with. Best, Michal

Subject: Watching Videos with Flash player and JAWS Hello, First, I'm using JAWS as a screen reader. Some of the websites I'm needing to frequent these days has videos that play using flash player. There's usually a "play" button, but the others aren't really labeled except for numbers. I've kind of gotten used to that from other web pages. However, how can I get a better handle regarding watching these videos more effectively. For instance, how can I rewind or fast forward through a video. Right now, I have no idea how to do this, and I've needed to go back and review something or move forward through something I've already seen. I don't really like having to watch something again just to get to a place where I left off. And, while I'm on this subject, how would I do similar things via YouTube? It would be helpful to do that.
