Universalis > Downloadable Universalis > Windows > [Operating instructions for screen readers under Windows]
This page is a supplement to the standard operating instructions for Universalis on Windows.
Universalis has a special mode with a simplified display that is visible to screen reader software for blind and partially-sighted users.
Universalis normally starts in this special mode automatically when it detects that a screen reader is present and active. If this automatic detection fails, you can still put it into screen reader mode manually. To do this, open the Options menu by pressing the F2 key and then select the last item in the menu, which is called "Format display for screen readers" and has the shortcut S.
We have tested Universalis with JAWS and with Window-Eyes.
The Universalis display consists of a single window that contains the text of your chosen Hour. This window is a Microsoft Rich Edit control and is readable by screen readers.
A menu bar is attached to this window. It contains three menus: Date, Hour, and Options, and also a menu item called Exit. You can close Universalis by selecting the Exit item, or by pressing Alt+F4, or simply by hitting the Escape key.
The Date menu (Alt+D) lets you choose which date you want to view. Each item also has a keyboard shortcut.
Yesterday (F6) goes back one day.
Today (F7) goes to today's date.
Tomorrow (F8) goes forward one day.
Go To Date (F5) opens a window that lets you choose any date in the 20th and 21st centuries, using drop-down lists for day, month and year.
The Hour menu (Alt+H) lets you choose which hour you want to view. In addition, there are two keyboard shortcuts not listed in the menu:
F12 goes to the next hour in the list.
F11 goes to the previous hour in the list.
To open the Options menu, press the F2 key or press Alt-O.
You can choose which font type and font size you want Universalis to use. This may be of some use if you are partially sighted rather than completely blind.
You can choose which local calendar you want Universalis to use. You can also decide whether you want the same Invitatory Psalm every day, or whether you want the psalm to change every day, going through the four permitted options, as the Universalis web site does.
This page tells you what version of the program and database you are using; it also lets you enter a registration code to unlock your trial version of Universalis and turn it into a licensed version.
