![]() I lost my vision three years ago, and despite being a software engineer, I found it was hard work adjusting to using a computer entirely through a?keyboard and synthesized speech. It is a guide for people who have never used JAWS before, but who need to use a screen reader to become productive again with their computer. I would like to announce the publication of a free book called Getting Back to Work with JAWS. What options do I have for avoiding this from happening? There should?be a way so that nothing could be dialed accidentally. Twice now, while the phone was in my pocket, it somehow got into emergency mode and dialed 911. I am using the Kyocera Verve phone evaluated by Bill Holton in the article An Accessibility Evaluation of the Kyocera Verve Phone. But, if manuals were downloadable in braille, those of us who use braille devices could have our manuals easily available in that format. Everybody wants to sell their products and their apps, and I suppose the younger generations learn well using speech. The technology is there to make braille downloadable. I'm an older person who grew up using braille, and I would find it far easier if I could get braille manuals for all these products. All of these items come with documentation, and some of them provide downloadable documentation. In the past few years, I've purchased a BraillEdge 40, an iPad Air, a Samsung Galaxy S4 phone, and I had to get a new home phone.
