Hello, WebAIM Nation -

My colleagues and I work in online education at a college. We are interested in becoming proficient enough in the use of a screen reader - or screen readers -- to effectively review the accessibility of digital resources like Word documents, PDF's and pages in our learning management system. We have tried to use the built-in trainers that come with VoiceOver and Narrator, but without much luck. We're also not certain if those are the best tools to use.

We have three questions to start:


* Is there a screen reader - or screen readers - that we should focus on?
* Can you recommend training resources to help us develop proficiency?
* Are we thinking about this correctly?
Thanks for your help!
