“This is a quick demonstration of the learn and try tool. I’m going to go through it once quickly and then I’m going to go through it slower and show you some of the additional features.”
Shown:
A web browser window displays the Learn and Try website homepage.
At the top is a navigation bar with links including Home, AT Tool Finder, Browse Tools Directly, and About Us.
Large heading text states that the site helps people find tools to make computers easier to use.
Spoken:
“You can use this tool to find about out about all types of different solutions for making computers easier to use. Things that are both built in, things that are free and things that are commercial.”
Shown:
Introductory text on the page explains that users can explore accessibility-related software and features.
A prominent button labeled Use Tool Finder is visible.
Spoken:
“We’re going to start off by using the tool Finder. You can also browse directly, directly and you could see that later. To use the tool Finder, you click and it’s important. Nothing that you do is stored. So it’s completely private and secure for you.”
Shown:
The Tool Finder option is selected.
A new page loads that explains the guided process and includes a privacy notice stating that answers are not saved or tracked.
Spoken:
“Begins by first finding out if you want to do it for yourself or someone else… then asking what they’re having trouble with.”
Shown:
A question appears asking whether the search is for the user or for someone else.
Another question follows asking what types of difficulties the person is experiencing.
Spoken:
“So we’ll say reading, writing, cognitive, for example… it then wants to know what types of computers they use at home or school.”
Shown:
Checkboxes labeled Reading, Writing, and Cognitive are selected.
A list of computer types appears.
Spoken:
“And so let’s just say Windows for this demonstration… and there are 63 tools that meet those requirements.”
Shown:
Windows is selected as the computer type.
The interface displays a message indicating that 63 tools match the selected criteria.
Spoken:
“And then you click and it drops you onto the browse page… you can see here the reading, writing, cognitive, the same things that you checked using the survey.”
Shown:
A results page appears titled Browse Tools.
Filter labels for Reading, Writing, and Cognitive are visible at the top of the list and the same filters are checked in the filter list down the left side of the page.
Spoken:
“If you’ve not really done this before and you don’t know what you’re looking for, I recommend you click on the top heading and it will open up and tell you the types of features that you should look for.”
Shown:
A collapsible heading for READING is opened.
Explanatory text appears describing types of features commonly associated with the first selected category (Reading).
Spoken:
“So you can find all the different kinds of features that might be included in the different products… click on any one of these things and it’ll open up, give you a short description.”
Shown:
A list of individual tools is visible.
Selecting a tool opens up that item in the list that has a brief description at the top.

“I asked for reading and writing and cognitive… here’s the ones for reading… here’s the ones for writing.”
Shown:
Tools are grouped by category.
Spoken:
“It’s gray so that you don’t have to look at a second time if you don’t want to.”
Shown:
Products that were listed before (e.g. under reading) that appear again under another group (e.g writing) are shaded gray and say in the header where they were shown above) but are still expandable to the full product description.
Spoken:
“In addition to the things that you clicked on, there are also some other things that you may not have selected that might be helpful… vision…”
Shown:
An additional category labeled Vision is displayed with explanatory text.
Spoken:
“Some features for making text larger or clearer might make it easier to read… and cognitively simpler.”

Spoken:
“You can check the ones that you think are interesting… I’m just going to click on some random items here to select them.”
Shown:
Checkboxes next to several tools are selected.
Spoken:
“And then… you can see that I can show only the ones that I’ve clicked.”
Shown:
A filter is applied so that only the selected tools remain visible.
Spoken:
“You can click on this and it gives you a link… paste it in an email or a message.”
Shown:
A share option generates a link that preserves the current filtered view.
Spoken:
“If they click on that link, it’ll open up this tool to exactly this view.”
Shown:
The interface indicates that shared links recreate the same selected results.
Spoken:
“So that’s a quick overview.”
Shown:
The filtered tool list remains on screen.
Spoken:
“If you decide there are just too many to look at… show me the ones that are built in… Chromebook… web-based… free… free trial… nine out of ten of these things are either free or free trial.”

- Built-in tools – reduces the list to just those that are built in.
- Chromebook – reduces the list to just those that work with chromebook
- Web-based – reduces the list to just those that are web apps
- Free tools and free trials – reduces the list to just those that are free or have free trials
