WEBVTT 1 00:00:06.317 --> 00:00:10.017 In this video, we will learn how to use Windows Narrator 2 00:00:10.017 --> 00:00:11.777 to check your PowerPoint slides. 3 00:00:13.266 --> 00:00:15.974 First of all, I'm going to go into presentation view. 4 00:00:16.606 --> 00:00:20.351 I'm going to click on the slide show button in the bottom right hand corner. 5 00:00:22.246 --> 00:00:24.322 To turn Windows Narrator on, 6 00:00:24.322 --> 00:00:27.210 I'm going to hold the control and Windows key 7 00:00:27.255 --> 00:00:30.504 and hit enter. To read each slide, 8 00:00:30.549 --> 00:00:33.889 I'm going to use the caps lock key and R. 9 00:00:34.520 --> 00:00:36.912 If you're using a desktop or a separate 10 00:00:36.912 --> 00:00:40.251 keyboard, you may have the insert key set as your Windows 11 00:00:40.251 --> 00:00:42.462 Narrator key, rather than caps lock. 12 00:00:42.462 --> 00:00:44.809 So you'll need to check that in the settings. 13 00:00:45.305 --> 00:00:48.238 I'm going to press my Narrator key plus R. 14 00:00:48.238 --> 00:00:50.630 [NARRATOR] Slide one, Images. Grouped object. 15 00:00:50.630 --> 00:00:54.917 Title, text box, images. Text box, alt text and long descriptions. 16 00:00:55.233 --> 00:00:56.812 Previous slide button. 17 00:00:56.812 --> 00:00:57.986 Next slide button. 18 00:00:57.986 --> 00:00:59.926 Slide two, alt text for images. 19 00:01:00.648 --> 00:01:04.754 [NICKI] Once the slide has been read, it will then cycle through the navigation 20 00:01:04.754 --> 00:01:06.334 options at the bottom of the screen. 21 00:01:06.334 --> 00:01:09.402 You can barely see these because the contrast is so poor. 22 00:01:09.808 --> 00:01:12.741 However, I can hear when it says next slide button 23 00:01:12.741 --> 00:01:15.269 and at that point I hit enter on my keyboard. 24 00:01:15.991 --> 00:01:19.916 Again, I'm going to use my Narrator key and R to read the whole slide. 25 00:01:20.007 --> 00:01:22.850 [NARRATOR] Slide two, alt text for images. Grouped object. 26 00:01:23.165 --> 00:01:26.911 Title text box, alt text for images. Dirt path through forest. 27 00:01:27.136 --> 00:01:29.663 View to island across the sea with the sun glistening off the water. 28 00:01:30.115 --> 00:01:32.281 [NICKI] In the same way as with JAWS, 29 00:01:32.416 --> 00:01:36.116 If you want to stop Narrator from reading, you can use the control key. 30 00:01:36.748 --> 00:01:38.237 That's what I just did. 31 00:01:39.185 --> 00:01:41.306 One of the advantages of using Narrator 32 00:01:41.306 --> 00:01:45.367 rather than JAWS, is that you can see where you are visually on the page, 33 00:01:45.367 --> 00:01:49.789 which for checking purposes is quite handy. As each item is read, 34 00:01:50.150 --> 00:01:52.452 it's highlighted with a blue box. 35 00:01:52.452 --> 00:01:54.934 That enabled me to see this grouped object. 36 00:01:55.701 --> 00:01:59.717 This slide didn't read well with JAWS. Even though the reading order 37 00:01:59.717 --> 00:02:01.251 looked to be set up correctly, 38 00:02:01.251 --> 00:02:06.215 it read all of the images first, which made the reading order all wrong. 39 00:02:07.027 --> 00:02:09.148 This is where Narrator is much better. 40 00:02:09.148 --> 00:02:12.442 So I'm going to use my Narrator key plus R, to read the whole slide. 41 00:02:12.758 --> 00:02:14.789 [NARRATOR] Slide three, alt text for diagrams. 42 00:02:15.060 --> 00:02:18.670 Grouped object. Title, text box, alt text for diagrams. 43 00:02:18.805 --> 00:02:21.016 Venn diagram made of three overlapping circles. 44 00:02:21.512 --> 00:02:23.949 The circles are compliance, culture and education. 45 00:02:24.265 --> 00:02:28.687 Text box seven, compliance. Conformity in fulfilling official requirements. 46 00:02:28.687 --> 00:02:32.613 Miriam-Webster. Text box six, culture. A way of thinking, 47 00:02:32.613 --> 00:02:35.637 behaving or working that exists in a place or organisation. 48 00:02:35.637 --> 00:02:38.434 Miriam-Webster. Text box eight, education. 49 00:02:38.660 --> 00:02:39.924 The process of facilitating 50 00:02:39.924 --> 00:02:44.256 learning or the acquisition of knowledge, skills, values, beliefs and habits. UNESCO. 51 00:02:44.256 --> 00:02:47.369 Arrow pointing to the intersection between compliance and culture. 52 00:02:47.459 --> 00:02:50.212 Text box 13, this is closest to where we are now. 53 00:02:50.212 --> 00:02:53.190 Teams want an accessible product and want to comply but don't know how. 54 00:02:53.190 --> 00:02:55.988 Arrow pointing to the intersection between culture and education. 55 00:02:56.033 --> 00:02:57.929 Text box nine, plenty of intention 56 00:02:57.929 --> 00:03:00.636 and lots of good practice, but no consistency and no evidence. 57 00:03:00.862 --> 00:03:03.118 Risks holes in accessibility and legal challenge. 58 00:03:03.118 --> 00:03:06.096 Arrow pointing to the intersection between compliance and education. 59 00:03:06.141 --> 00:03:08.307 Text box 11, pockets of good practice 60 00:03:08.307 --> 00:03:10.203 but unsustainable because there is no conviction 61 00:03:10.203 --> 00:03:12.143 that it is important forward slash necessary. 62 00:03:12.143 --> 00:03:14.309 Previous slide button. 63 00:03:14.309 --> 00:03:16.204 [NICKI] Narrator key plus R. 64 00:03:16.204 --> 00:03:20.130 [NARRATOR] Slide six, reading order. Grouped object. Title text box, 65 00:03:20.130 --> 00:03:23.560 Reading order. Subtitle, Text box, meaningful sequence. 66 00:03:23.695 --> 00:03:25.274 Previous slide button. 67 00:03:25.274 --> 00:03:27.080 Slide seven, Baking bread rolls. 68 00:03:28.117 --> 00:03:30.103 [NICKI] So on this slide, JAWS 69 00:03:30.103 --> 00:03:34.661 read all of the images in sequence first, and then all of the instructions. 70 00:03:34.751 --> 00:03:36.556 Let's see what. Narrator does. 71 00:03:36.556 --> 00:03:39.444 [NARRATOR] Slide seven, baking bread rolls. Grouped object. 72 00:03:39.760 --> 00:03:43.189 Title, text box, Baking bread rolls. Bowl of dry ingredients. 73 00:03:43.415 --> 00:03:45.761 Rectangle 18, weigh out dry ingredients. 74 00:03:45.761 --> 00:03:47.792 Oil has been added to the dry ingredients. 75 00:03:47.792 --> 00:03:49.507 Rectangle 23, add oil. 76 00:03:49.507 --> 00:03:51.944 A pool of water is swimming on top of the dry ingredients. 77 00:03:52.214 --> 00:03:54.245 Rectangle 19, add warm water. 78 00:03:54.245 --> 00:03:56.140 A dough hook has been lowered into the mixture. 79 00:03:56.140 --> 00:03:58.893 Rectangle 21, mix with dough hook for 10 minutes. 80 00:03:58.893 --> 00:04:01.149 Dough proving oven is set to 40 degrees Celsius. 81 00:04:01.375 --> 00:04:03.857 Rectangle 25, turn on proving oven. 82 00:04:03.857 --> 00:04:05.887 A pot bowl containing a small amount of oil. 83 00:04:05.887 --> 00:04:09.542 Rectangle 24, oil an ovenproof bowl. The pot bowl with a ball of dough in it. 84 00:04:09.768 --> 00:04:13.784 Rectangle 22, put dough in bowl. Bowl is in the proving oven with a cloth over it. 85 00:04:14.055 --> 00:04:16.627 Rectangle 20, prove for 45 minutes. 86 00:04:18.026 --> 00:04:23.531 [NICKI] So again, this slide reads out in exactly the right order with Windows Narrator. 87 00:04:23.757 --> 00:04:25.878 So that's how you use Windows Narrator 88 00:04:25.878 --> 00:04:27.954 for checking your slides in PowerPoint.
