Re: [orca-list] Podcasts and/or audio tutorials needed

Hi Al,
I think beginners will do little typing.
A beginning podcast would consist of things like bringing up a list of 
programs and getting to the desktop area.
Things like finding the browser, and finding their WIFI for example.
If one is just using the terminal, then that would just mainly consist of a 
list of specific commands.
But it is the GUI in a keyboard environment that Blind users struggle with 
at first.

If they're using computers with Windows or the Mac, then the writings
could be text or Word files or something else.  If they're using, say,
an NLS digital player, then you'd want to be sure the audio instructions
are very clear when telling how to type anything.  The audio guide for
installing the talking Arch system and getting it set up is very good,
but even with that I needed some help from online documentation.
