Brian Hartgen Presents Getting your JAWS Around the Keyboard On Tek Talk
Monday, December 8, 2008

Brian Hartgen, the Product Development Manager at T&T Consultancy Ltd,
has been invited to introduce two low cost products for use with JAWS
for Windows and the computer keyboard this week on Tek Talk, the online
worldwide training event sponsored by the Accessible World.

The session will begin with a demonstration of TypeAbility, the software
that allows a person to learn how to use the keyboard in 77 fun, easy
and interactive lessons.  By the end of the lessons, users will have
learned the letter keys, figures, and punctuation signs together with
basic screen-reading and selection commands.  Speed tests and dictation
tasks make TypeAbility the most advanced typing tutor on the market.

Brian is a beta tester of TypeAbility sold by the company.  He will be
joined in the first section of the presentation by the product
developer, David Pinto from Yes Accessible.

Next, Brian will demonstrate J-Tools, a new and exciting product
produced by T&T providing some fantastic utilities for keyboard users of
JAWS.
J-Tools
contains a unique bookmarking technology to easily locate specific
segments of web pages and Microsoft Word documents which were recently
described within Microsoft's On-Line Office site.  In addition, J-Tools
contains a feature to make it easy for visually impaired people to
select or highlight text in word processing and Internet-based
environments.
Finally, Text Notes within J-Tools allow a user to reproduce regularly
used blocks of text with just a few keystrokes.

Following the presentation, there will be the usual opportunity for the
virtual audience to get answers to their specific questions.
