JAWS and Text Analyzer: Do You What I Hear?

As the school year comes to an end, students are polishing their portfolios and drafting their dissertations. Help your students pinpoint errors in their papers with JAWS Text Analyzer. Our presenter Elizabeth Whitaker will show you how a sound or spoken message can alert proofreaders to inconsistencies and make editing easier. As an added bonus, you’ll also learn about JAWS speech and sound schemes, which enable you to identify specific information using voices, spoken text, or sounds. Easily locate font and color changes, web page elements, and headings in documents with this powerful feature. You can even create your own scheme for added customization!
