27 June 2008, 8:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.
Synopsis: Learn to "repair" inaccessible (and hard to access) proprietary programs and web applications by using Macro Express to add hotkey commands and custom toolbars. After becoming acquainted (or reacquainted) with Macro Express, you will experiment with basic scripting techniques; try out advanced scripting techniques; and finally, test your new skills by creating keyboard and mouse macros for a non-standard application such as Hotmail, Ad-aware, or Google Maps. You will also learn a technique for "recycling" these macros for use with NaturallySpeaking. No programming experience is required. Basic familiarity with Macro Express is highly recommended.
