So here’s one of those keyboard shortcuts I probably should have known about already after over 10 years of using #JAWS, but didn’t! When I press Alt+Windows+S, JAWS announces “meeting status unavailable”. This appears to be a global shortcut and doesn’t seem to change no matter what I do from my (admittedly very brief) testing. FS Companion says that the keystroke is used to toggle between the local machine and the remote machine in a tandem session, which is incorrect. Anyone know what this does? I’m also using #Leasey if that makes a difference. #BlindTech #ScreenReader @freedomscientific

Thanks everyone for the great recommendations for MS Word alternatives! I’m now on the hunt for a good PDF reader that works well with JAWS on Windows 11. Or even something that can convert PDFs to text files so I can read them with my Braille display and add notes easily. Any suggestions?

I'm looking for a markdown editor for Windows that’s accessible with JAWS. I currently use iA Writer but not sure how well it works with a screen reader. I also need the ability to export to Word. Any recommendations? Thanks. #BlindTech #JAWS #Markdown #Accessibility #WindowsApps #ScreenReader #WordExport

🎓 Returning #Blind #CS #Student – Seeking Advice on LaTeX & #Accessible #Math Tools
Hi everyone! I’m a blind student returning to college to pursue a B.S. in Computer Science through Colorado Christian University Online. This is my third attempt at college due to chronic illness, but I’m excited to be back and determined to make it work.
I’m looking for advice on two fronts:
📝 1. LaTeX on #Windows
I’ve recently started learning LaTeX and find it a more accessible way to write papers—especially when paired with Zotero for citations. My main machine is a Windows 11 Pro mini PC, and I also have a Raspberry Pi running Arch Linux ARM.
So far, I’ve tried:
- Overleaf – nice interface, but the PDF viewer isn’t very screen reader-friendly and the editor has some issues too (JAWS/NVDA repeat lines).
- VS Code with LaTeX Workshop – most accessible option I've tried
- TeXnicCenter – only briefly.
👉 Question: What LaTeX editors or workflows do you use on #Windows, and how accessible have you found them?
➗ 2. Relearning College-Level Math
I’ll be starting with calculus early next year. It’s been a long time since high school, and chronic illness has affected my memory and cognition. I used to use a Perkins Brailler for math, but arthritis/lupus (still being diagnosed) makes that painful now.
👉 Question: Can anyone recommend accessible resources for relearning math—especially for someone doing everything online?
Any tips for doing math, science, or programming fully online as a blind student would be incredibly appreciated.
Thanks in advance! I’m happy to share what I learn along the way.
Feel free to boost or tag others who might have insights.

The Applause for Jaws, Despite Flaws
Opinion
Fifty years ago, the #movie #Jaws scared beachgoers and demonized sharks. Now, however, #sharks, the public and our beaches are all evolving to a better understanding
