[NABS-L] Question about writing essays

[Amy Albin]

Hi,

I'm a JAWS user. These are the settings I like for proofreading: (JAWS
key is either Insert in desktop mode or Caps lock in laptop mode).

In Quick Settings (JAWS Key +V)

Caps Indicate "on character, word, and line"
Punctuation "all"
Indentation "indicate"
Text analyzer "speak count" and change to "describe inconsistencies"
when I can't find and fix them myself

My speech and sounds scheme (JAWS Key + Alt +S) for reviewing a
document is Classic (Attributes, Font Info and Color). Be careful
because there are several classic options; I like the one with all
three (attributes, font info and color).

I hope this, in combination with other info given, helps you. When I
found out these tips, they changed my world in terms of editing.

Best,

Amy Albin (she/her)
