Basics of Working with JAWS  

and Windows on ElBraille 

Windows Basics 

Using Windows with JAWS on the ElBraille is basically the same as using a 
regular Windows PC. The only difference is that with ElBraille, commands 
are performed using the ElBraille buttons and the Focus Blue controls. The 
following describes how to access some of the more frequently used 
Windows features. For more information, see the help for Windows as well 
as the JAWS Help. 

The Start Menu 

To open the Start menu, press 

RIGHT SHIFT+DOT 4

. You will be focused 

in the Search edit box where you can begin typing the name of an app or 
setting you want to find. Press a 

Rocker

 bar to navigate the list of search 

results and press 

DOT 8

 to select one. 

To view the list of frequently used apps, configure your account, view all 
apps, or turn off the device, press 

DOTS 4-5 CHORD

 or 

DOTS 1-2 

CHORD

 to navigate through the Start menu. Use a 

Rocker

 bar to move 

through list boxes and dropdown menus. Press 

DOT 8 to activate the 

selected item or to activate a button. 

To close the Start menu, press 

DOTS 1-3-5-6 CHORD. 

Working With Windows and Dialog Boxes 

Windows dialog boxes can contain text information as well as various 
controls including check boxes, radio buttons, buttons, sliders, edit fields, 
and so on. 

To read the window title, press 

DOTS 2-8 CHORD

 followed by 

T

 (DOTS 2-

3-4-5). To read the status bar, simultaneously press the bottom of the 

Left

 

and 

Right Rocker

 bars. To read the contents of the dialog box, press 

RIGHT SHIFT+DOTS 1-2
