moderated Microsoft Teams and Jaws
|
Murray Peat <murraytp@...>
Hi people, Have just started a new work role where I am using Microsoft Teams on a laptop using Jaws22. It seems a bit clunky and I am having trouble finding things and engaging with the chat facility which seems to be used as an organisational equivalent of email. Anyway, just wondered if anyone knows of any resources out there which can be used as a training toolkit.
With thanks Murray

Hi there. Freedom Scientific has a couple of webinars on Teams. You might want to start there. Sometimes, it is clunky. You can use control plus the number two to navigate to the list of recent chats. To start a new chat, press Control plus N. The webinars go through more of the shortcut keys and how to use JAWS effectively. There are some scripts created by Doug Lee that you can also download that makes Teams much better.

Hello, I am finding the same thing. People are using the chat feature as if it were e-mail. Sometimes, I am able to read a thread, sometimes not. I am sure I must be doing something wrong. I am coming from a Mac environment, and am figuring things out as I go along. While there is an ATp associated with the organization, she readily admits that she does not use JAWS. I have figured out how to create, reply to and forward e-mails, etc., join a meeting in Teams, if I can find the link, and I remember how to navigate some web pages, based on my knowledge of JAWS from many years ago. But, Teams is truly a mystery! Best, Suzanne

It feels clunky to me, too. I’ve listened to the FS webinars a couple times and pick up something new each time. On my last listen, I was reminded of using Control F6 to move around, which has been useful Sometimes Here are my observations.
Sometimes I’m trying to get to the list of open chats and it’s not working. I’ll hit Control E then Control 2 to get to the Chat section, then Control Shift F to get to the top of the list of open chats. Arrowing up and down the list of names can be clunky in that JAWS doesn’t’ always read the correct item in focus. If I hear a name twice, I’ll use insert up arrow to have JAWS correctly read the item in focus. I do like that, just after each person’s name I can see the start of the last comment sent. . That gives me a clue if I missed any messages from each person. I also have Teams set to send me an email once an hour if I’ve missed any messages. I’m not sure if that method is fool proof, but I do get notices, especially if I’ve left for lunch and come back.
Reading chat history is OK. Only think I’m not really great at yet is reading by word within a chat history. One of the webinars covers how to react and read attachments in these. If I’m reading one and just need to see how to spell something or to grab a bit of info, I find it easiest to open JAWS speech history and pull it from there.

Teams has become the default communication tool at my company. In the early days of Teams it was bad enough that I had to engage with Microsoft accessibility and Teams PM. For the most part Teams now works pretty well considering how much they packed into it. Here are a few tips and observations in addition to what has been posted already. - The built-in help for Teams commands is opened by pressing
CTRL+slash. This opens a list of commands you can enter on along
with their keyboard shortcuts for reference. Alternatively, press
CTRL+period to open keyboard shortcuts. - The JAWS focus gets confused tabbing and shift-tabbing through the message detail and list view, particularly in the chat tab. The easiest way I found to put focus on the chat list is switch to another tab and then back using the CTRL+# shortcuts mentioned previously - Use CTRL+A CTRL+C to copy a message you have selected to the clipboard, which you can then paste in a text editor like Word or Note Pad for reference. This is the easiest way to read the full message when it is truncated and open any links in the message. - When you receive a call on Teams, use CTRL+shift+S to accept the audio call or CTRL+shift+A to accept the video call. - Toggle mute on and off using CTRL+shift+m. - Reference the keyboard
shortcuts and pages from Microsoft at Accessibility
support for Microsoft Teams for articles on Teams
accessibility with JAWS. The longer you use Teams, the more features you will pick up and get comfortable with. Good luck, Jeremy

There are great JAWS scripts written by Doug Lee found on his website www.dlee.org. They’re free and quite worth installing.
