Listen along during  this Blinded Veterans Association’s VetTech episode as we learn from Liz Whitaker, Product Manager for User Education and Research at Vispero. In Windows 11, Microsoft changed many of the core elements of Windows, including the Start Menu, Explorer, the Notification Center, and much more. The alterations require blind and low vision users to re-learn how to interact with these elements. Fortunately, Freedom Scientific has optimized JAWS and Fusion, simplifying how blind and low vision individuals deal with Microsoft’s new user interface. Additionally, Freedom Scientific created a very handy guide you can download by clicking here.

All VetTech sessions are open to everyone—blinded and low vision veterans, family members, caregivers, blind rehabilitation specialists and all other parties interested in the assistive, adaptive, and accessible technologies that can empower our independence.
