kestrellKes: I just spent the past two weeks working with David Kingsbury, the author of this primer, and an extremely knowledgeable instructor at the Carroll Center for the Blind. Anyone who knows me knows what a Hermione I am, so they will not be surprised to discover that I had prepared a long list of things I wanted to learn, then added a bunch more, and not only did he teach them all to me, but he kept saying, "This is in my new book."
So this is my combination book launch announcement and book review: this is an invaluable book for any screen reader user or instructor, and I would also recommend it to any usability/web developer who wants to have insight into how screen readers work with the web and various programs. Note: there are also chapters on working with PDF documents and Excel sheets, and how to handle some basic problems you may run into.
Last but not least, David is going to tell you how to download the ebook for free!
Announcement:

For people with visual impairments, screen reader software is crucial for living in today’s world. Screen reader software converts text and other digital elements into speech or braille so users can get information in a way that is accessible to them.
