Dear Colleagues
Re: Supernova Workshop - 29 September 2005
Supernova is a sophisticated Reader Magnifier for accessing Windows applications for those with visual impairment. It provides powerful and clear screen magnification, as well as Advanced Speech and Braille facilities. Keyboard shortcuts (Hotkeys) are used for complete mouse-free navigation and operation.
This workshop offers participants hands on experience of Supernova, focusing on some of the essential skills required to support Supernova users.
You will use Supernova to work in Microsoft word and Internet Explorer using magnification and speech facilities, and will be able to take away a detailed practical course guide to refer to at your leisure.
