Training Downloads
The Training Downloads page is your one-stop source for finding all of the free training materials we have available. Find that DAISY training book or MP3 file you are looking for. Find training for multiple products in one place, instead of having to search through several different product pages. Please take advantage of all of the training information and materials we have posted here. We hope you will come back often to see what is new.
JAWS Tip: Web page authors often divide the content of a page into sections, or divisions. This page is a good example. You can navigate with other JAWS® screen reading software navigation quick keys, such as H for headings, but using that keystroke you also navigate to any subheadings within each division. Often divisions will start with a heading, but not always. Also, since you may not know if each division begins with a certain size heading, using the navigation quick key Z to move by divisions can get you where you want to go very quickly. Try pressing Z or SHIFT+Z on this and other Web pages to move by divisions.
