Use the player with JAWS

To use the player with JAWS, you must first enable the accessibility setting in the player. Open an assignment or practice work in the player and do the following:

1. Right-click to open the context menu.
2. Select Accessibility from the menu.
3. In the popup window, select Automatically detect and click OK.
4. Exit and re-enter your course.

   When you log in again and open the player, you can use the screenreader to enter your answers.

You can use JAWS to enter answers to the following types of questions:

• Multiple-choice questions — you choose the correct answer from several possible answers.
• Free-response questions — you type your answer into a field using the player command line language.

You can cut, copy, and paste using keyboard shortcuts; you also can use the command-line language to enter special characters and symbols. See Use the command-line language with JAWS for descriptions of the keyboard shortcuts and the command-line language.

With the current version of the player, you cannot use the screenreader to answer:

• Questions that require creating a graph, plotting on a number line, or reading a visual display such as a graph or table.
• Writing questions that require tagging words or phrases in a paragraph or writing an essay.
• Questions that require you to show your work.
• Locked-down tests. If you are asked to install the Pearson LockDown Browser when starting a test, contact your instructor for help.
