Each month, Toastmasters International produces a magazine designed for all Toastmasters to read. For years it came in the mail, but now it is online only. The online version, however, is not fully accessible. Fortunately, an accessible version is now available on NFB Newsline.
If you don’t know about Newsline, it is a fantastic resource for accessible versions of magazines, newspapers and other publications. You can read them on a computer, a smartphone or even on your dumb phone by dialing a toll-free number. And it is all completely free.

This nifty word processor is compatible with just about any Windows computer and is free. Even the former Plus version that used to be a paid version is now free. The download website is here.
Although you can use Text Edit in the Mac, it doesn't always provide the right conversion tools. This is especially true if you need to create text files that are going to be fully compatible with users from Windows or other operating systems. While CotEditor does not have spell-checking capabilities, it makes a great simple editor for notes, drafts, ETC. The information page is here.

The following are some useful tips for using Zoom. These also include a few links to many of the visual "Getting-Started Information" for those who are sighted.
1. Keyboard Commands
Whether you are a sighted, blind, or low vision Zoom user, it is strongly recommended to use keyboard commands whenever possible.
The full list of hot keys is found here: https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/205683899-Hot-Keys-and-Keyboard-for-Zoom
Please note that there are many hot keys that Zoom offers, but most participants will only use a few of them. It is important for those users who depend on the mouse that a hot key will not work if the Zoom meeting window is not in focus. To put the Zoom Meeting window in focus, either click it or hold down the ALT key, then press TAB until it gains focus.
The following are some of the more popular hot keys used by most participants. For better accessibility, the table has been separated into a linear list.

Mac:
Phone: (Please note that the star key is represented by the asterisk * symbol)

3. Zoom Etiquette:
Like with any gathering whether it is for fun, for business, or both, there should always be some measure of etiquette to consider when participating in a Zoom meeting.
