Creating a blog post in JAWS screen reader

I'm currently in an IT lecture at RNCB and using the JAW screen reader. THis program allows blind readers to navigate their way around a computer without the vision.  JAWS reads whatever is on screen and allows the user to find their way around the screen without using a mouse.

So I am writing this post without looking at screen, something very unnatural whilst I have some sight left but good training in case my vision continues to deteriorate.It takes a lot longer and can sometimes be very frustratingg for someone who is used to using computers with vision and correcting mistakes in typing can be awkward but screenreaders like JAWS opens up the world of computers to those who could otherwise not use a monitor screen and .mouse
