Hi All,
I've been trying to use Amazon Smile, so I can get a percentage of my purchases donated to my local Ham club, but the folks in the club say to click on the smile on the check out page, but I search for the word smile, but can never find it.
Has anyone here ever been able to do this with Jaws?
Thanks.

Glenn

"Smile" will be what sighted people see. The control may have a different
label as far as a screenreader is concerned. Have you tried searching for
"donate" or "donation"? How about looking at all the buttons on that page in
case one seems a likely candidate?

The "Smile" is a graphic, a picture of a smile. As was said, you need to
look for text that says something similar.

smile.amazon.com is the direct URL to Amazon Smile, and you need to "cross register" (for lack of a better way of putting it) your existing Amazon account the first time you use it.

I've been using https://smile.amazon.com/ for years now, and the number of charities they have in their list is astounding.  Small local charities here in the Shenandoah Valley are ones that can be donated to, and I'm sure that's true for virtually any other place's local charities.

The smile version of Amazon is exactly parallel to regular Amazon and can be used if you're an Amazon Prime member.  In fact, if you search on regular amazon.com you'll often be prompted as to whether you want to go to the same page in Amazon Smile so if you purchase you will be making that tiny donation.  But every little bit helps.

I use Smile all the time.

I open my browser that I use for Amazon shopping -- Chrome.

Then, in the edit box I type

smile.amazon.com

and I have it for shopping, checking the shooping cart, proceed to
check-out from there.
You have to have designated which charity/non-profit/club you wish as your
default donation receiver. My wife and I use our local Rescue Mission as
the receiver of the 0.5% share that gets donated.
That works out to 50 cents per $100 spent; so your ham club isn't likely
to be rolling in dough for any individual shopper; but it can add up.
Amazon doles out the money quarterly, if I recall correctly.

Where you designate the charity, I'm not certain as ours has been set up
for years without change.
Hopefully, someone can address that question as, I believe, each donation
receiver applies for a code.

My guess is that one needs to be a prime member to avail themselves of the
Smile program.
Multiple people may use a prime account so you and your wife should be
using the same account.
And our adult son also uses the account having stuff shipped to his home
directly.

When getting into Smile as Brian and I have suggested, using the search
function of JAWS will find the word smile.
And when you place the order, the confirmation page will do also and
indicating which charity is your benefactor.

give the ham club treasurer a $10 bill and tell him to keep the extra $1
in the treasury <smile>!!
That shows how little actually ends up in the hands of the recipients.
