An important source of information about how to use programs and what they can do is the help included with just about every program. A large number of blind computer users don't know how to use such help.
This week the Accessible World in partnership with Talking Communities has asked Gene Asner to give a presentation demonstrating how to use a standard Windows help system, the kind used in most programs.

So, you've found a new internet radio station you like a lot. But you're being driven crazy by your own screen reader, which insists on reading all that stuff in the various pop-up windows on the station's site?
Solutions to this and many other such dilemmas will be offered this week during the Accessible World Tek Talk first online open forum.
Forum moderator, Walt Kramer, and other Tech Talk team members will be standing by then to answer your questions.
