moderated how user friendly is zoom with jaws?

Hank William Merchant
Hello,
I am a jaws18 user using the latest 2004 release of Win10. I have never used zoom, so i am wondering how easy is it to use zoom with jaws to join and be part of scheduled meetings? Any help with this would be so very much appreciated. Much, much thanks in advance for any possible help with this. Kindest regards, Hank From: Joseph Hudson Sent: Wednesday, July 29, 2020 5:59 PM To: main@jfw.groups.io Subject: Re: How long is a Zoom meeting available? Hello, after using a personal meeting ID they're always using the same link. If you schedule them under separate meeting nights which the system creates for you then no. And those links are available as long as you want them for. If you're using a meeting ID that you let the system create for you. And if you want them to convene with the same link, just scheduled a meeting for three hours. And I'm for sure you'll be good to go. joseph hudson Email FaceTime and iMessage jhud7789@...

You might want to update to Jaws 2020, but zoom is quite accessible.
There is a zoom training course and some scripts by Hartgen consulting which are very useful. On Thu, 30 Jul 2020 04:34:14 -0400, Hank William Merchant wrote: -- Your life is like a penny. You're going to lose it. The question is: How do you spend it? John Covici wb2una covici@...

Zoom is so accessible it's like it's been made especially with blind users in mind. There is literally nothing I've not been able to work out how to do. I'm happy to give any tips. - James

My first suggestion to you is that you update your JAWS version to 2020. Freedom Scientific is offering a discount to upgrade for the price that cannot be beat. Go to their website and look for the information about the summer convention offerings. This special will end on July 31. You have another option and that is to install the latest version of JAWS for free and this offering as of now will end on August 31. Again, you can find information about this on their website. Go to: https://freedomscientific.com When you install the latest version of Zoom, it will install spripts that will give you better functionality in combination between JAWS and Zoom. The scripts were written by Brian Hartgen and given to Freedom Scientific. If you are wanting more functionality you might want to purchase a set of more advance scripts from Brian Hartgen. To find out more about Brian's scripts for purchase go to: https://hartgen.org/ There are two books that are available to help you learn about all the things you can do along with the keyboard commands. The first is "Meet Me In The Cloud". This books is an audio book in MP3 files, available free from https://mosen.org/ and is a bit old but still will help. The author is Jonathan Mosen. The second book is available either from the Carol Center for the Blind and I don't remember the title of this book at the moment. I think you can also get this book from National Braille Press at https://nbp.org/ This book was priced at $18.00 for an MS Word file. Lastly, you can also find some keyboard commands on the Zoom website. Downloading Zoom is Free if you are just joining a group conference. If you are intending to host a group conference the free version will give you 40 minutes access. Zoom offers different pricing plans that you can purchase so check their website at https://zoom.us/ Hope this helps. Milton

It depends on what you want to do, but general meeting access with Zoom is actually quite easy. If you are sent a meeting link, it's easy to join a meeting and participate. You first have to download and install the Zoom app. A list of most-used Zoom key strokes can be obtained via Alt H--the help menu. I hope this helps at least a little. Tom Behler

If anyone has a set of instructions or tips for inviting people to a Zoom meeting, hosting a Zoom meeting, etc., please post to the list. I have been somewhat successful with these processes, based on what I've been able to figure out so far with a bit of trial and error, but a nice clear set of instructions would help. I'm sure that I, and others, would benefit from this. Thanks! Tom Behler

You can find clear and concise instructions from Jonathan Mosens book "Meet Me in the Cloud". And you can get it for free from Mosen.org.

I've been thinking about acquiring the book, although I think I only need some basic commands and info at this point. Thanks! Tom Behler

Don't forget that the Mosen book is FREE and he devotes a whole chapter on setting up meetings.

And, you can just listen to the chapter on setting up meetings by playing the specific mp3 file which covers that topic. There is one other book that recently came out and its available through the Carol Center for the Blind, it cost $18.000. Brian Hartgen who wrote the scripts which is available with the latest version of JAWS also did a webinar and you can purchase the recording of the 3-part webinar from his site at https://hartgen.org/ Milton
