Automating Repetitive Tasks for People with Disabilities with Macros

Overview

During this two-hour webinar, learn to create macros that enhance computer access for people with disabilities — and everybody else!

 

This is a hands-on session. After introducing each topic, I give you time to work through exercises. After each exercise, the group reconvenes on Zoom to discuss and show our work.

 

If you have questions during the exercises, meet me privately in a break-out room.

 

During the two weeks after the session, you can book a free, 15-minute consultation with me.

 

All course materials, including a recording of the webinar, will be archived and available to participants for 30 days.

Accessibility notes for screen reader users
The Macro Express Pro user interface is mostly JAWS friendly. However, some screens may be challenging to access because the normal Windows keyboard interaction rules are different. The instructor will try to guide participants around these challenging screens.
