I am blind since 2000 and a memmber of ONCE
I am currently studying for
a Business degree at UNED.
Since UNED offers distance learning,
the virtual campus is widely used,
Internet is used a lot and computers.
I can do things just as anyone else
I only need the means
in this case, a screen reader.
A screen reader is a program that
reads what's on the screen,
when it comes across anything
it tells you through your sound card.
(SCREEN READER - SR) Welcome to the installation of JAWS,
(SR) press ENTER to start the installation
(SR) or ESCAPE to cancel.

JAWS allows you to configure the
options to suit your needs.
The profile of each particular user,
in terms of speed, pitch, etc.
(SR) Speed 59. Slider (SR) horizontal, 17%
(SR) to increase or decrease the value
(SR) use the arrows
Then I'll teach you how
to navigate a Word document
which is what I usually use.
You can search a document in two ways
One is, access the desktop
with the arrows and when you find it
press ENTER or also, another option is
to press the document initial
and it will take you there.
(SR) Interfaces for the digital

(SR) Interfaces for the digital
(SR) home. -Microsoft Word test.

(SR) Blank.
(SR) blank, blank, blank.
(SR) Course, colon, digital home
(SR) and human factors. full stop.

Normally in long documents it is
advisable to navigate the structure.
to choose specifically what you want.
(SR) The user interface, colon, one
(SR) UI Definition
(SR) Elements of a user interface, colon, two.
(SR) Historical evolution of user interfaces, colon, two.
(SR) Assistive products, open parentheses technical aids, closed parenthesis

I'm interested in support products
Then as I'm where my interest is, I press ENTER.
(SR) Enter, design view, edit box.
(SR) The Act on... Two point four, support products, open
parentheses or technical aids, closed parentheses, and ICT...
(SR) Support products, open parentheses or technical aids, closed parentheses and ICT.
You can also go forward through the page. (SR) Page Up.
Or backward on the page (SR) Page Down.
(SR) page number, colon, edit box. eight ...
So now I would be on the document
I have verified that I'm on the correct page, that is page 8
with Insert + 3 keys

(SR) wizard, quotes, smart, quotes, Microsoft Word
So, here it tells me that on this page there is a figure
(SR) Graphic: visual assistant, coma, with a clip shape, coma
(SR) asks the user if he wants to write a letter, coma
(SR) after the user has typed quotes "Dear Joe" quotes
So it is very important that all photos or images are labeled
because if they are not, I can not
access them or know what's in those photographs
We have been viewing a Word file.
A file that is well generated
and has good accessibility tools
Then we will watch the same document
which has been made otherwise
It has been generated as PDF.
The teacher has scanned it.
Let's see how accessible it is.
It is open and we will do the same tasks I have done previously
navigate the structure of the text, see a paragraph, read the entire document
and go to a specific page.
(SR) Zero links.
It has no links.
(SR) no headers found.
No headers found
(SR) Interfaces for the digital home
(SR) User interfaces ... It has no text.
(SR) User Interfaces for the digital home image underlined...
It tells me the same thing.
I understand that it is completely inaccessible
In the Business Studies Degree
there is a subject called economic history
the teacher has told me to
write an essay on Christopher Columbus
and I'll do it using Google.
(SR) edit box In Google,
as you enter the Google page it takes you to the edit box.
Once there you can already enter the Search term.
In our case it would be: Christopher Columbus.
(SR) Blank, form mode disabled.
we activate (SR) No previous header level ...
(SR) No combi pictures ... search
(SR) combi boxes. Table combi ... enter,
We introduce search terms.
In this case, Christopher Columbus.
(SR) The page has 15 headers and 84 links.
It tells me it has 15 headers and 82 links.
In browsers you can search or see results
through two methods.
Both, listing the links or through headers.
In this case we will list the links
to find what we want
that is, Christopher Columbus.
(SR) List of links in the dialogue ...
As Christopher Columbus starts with "c", we type out the "c"
to go faster.
(SR) c ... change location… c ... Christopher Columbus
(SR) hyphen, Wikipedia, comma, the free encyclopedia
Here is a link that can be interesting,
in addition to Wikipedia, which I think is a good way to access this information

(SR) Table One, a regular table, white
(MOBILE SPEAK - MS) Alejandro
Well, it's Alejandro
I also have a screen reader in my cell phone.

And we're going to see how to navigate through the various options.
(MS) menu, bengal, applications ...
(MS) settings, three of seventeen You are on the menu
(MS) settings 3 of 17...
We must also encourage programmers
to design things so they are accessible,
so that screen readers can access the information.
