LeaseySearch is a powerful tool which allows you to find information from a variety of online sources including search engines and online library catalogues. LeaseySearch also contains some specially designed interfaces to allow you to gather information quickly.
While LeaseySearch can be used by computer beginners, if you are a Leasey Advanced user you will find it particularly powerful, since searches can be made irrespective of the application in which you are working.
Currently, LeaseySearch can carry out searches using Amazon, eBay, Google, DudkDuckGo, Wikipedia, Youtube, DisneyPlus, 7 Digital, Goodreads, RNIB’s Home Reading Service for DAISY books in the UK, Bookshare (internationally), Audible in both the UK and US, the Canadian CELA library in Canada and the National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped (NLS) in the United States of America. Please note that while you can search any of the book catalogues as a guest, you must have a subscription to a specific library in order to borrow or purchase a book. Whether you can obtain such a subscription will depend on your rights in the country in which you live.
LeaseySearch also contains a news app, a weather app, a Currency Converter, an RSS Reader, the ability to search iTunes from Apple, databases for people interested in learning about music, a TV database, access to dictionaries, calculator, convert temperatures, find out about public holidays, find the time in almost any location in the world, and much more. We will describe how to use the majority of items, although they should all be very straightforward and you are guided as to the information which is required in each case.
Please Note: We are not responsible for the content provided by these services. If a particular service is not functioning, or there is a difficulty with the way in which the content is displayed, please feel free to contact us. However, you should not contact us if the content provided is inaccurate or has been omitted for some reason.
If using Leasey Basic, LeaseySearch can be activated from the Leasey Main Menu by selecting “Open LeaseySearch”. Alternatively, you can activate it by pressing the Leasey Key then Control+Shift+S to access it directly. When you activate LeaseySearch, you will hear JAWS say "LeaseySearch Online". In the vast majority of cases, this prompts you that you need an internet connection to access most components of LeaseySearch. A sub-menu is brought into view, containing the names of the sources which can be searched. Press Enter on any one of these items.
While it is possible to use the individual websites for accessing all of the below information, this often requires browsing to the page, locating an Edit Field, activating the JAWS special "Forms Mode" facility, typing what you want, press Enter and finally, locating where the results begin. Why would you want to do all of that when you have the convenience of LeaseySearch?
Google is by far the easiest search you can conduct, so let us begin with that. It allows you to search for any term using the popular Google search engine which has become an international household word. Learning how to use this tool will allow you to gain an appreciation as to the kind of information LeaseySearch expects, as we have tried to make the interface for each tool consistent with what we are about to describe. If you prefer not to use Google, you can work with DuckDuckGo instead which is also part of the LeaseySearch menu.
When "Google" is selected by pressing Enter from the LeaseySearch menu, a Dialog Box will appear with an Edit Field in focus, requesting your search term. Simply type it in and press Enter. Tip: when searching for a specific phrase, you may like to place it in quotation marks, (shift+2 on the keyboard). You will have also heard an announcement to the effect that, to gain a list of recent searches, type the word "recent", then press Enter. We'll come back to this in a moment.
Leasey will search the Google website for the term you have entered and bring back the appropriate results. This consists of a List Box of choices. As you move through the list by pressing Up or Down Arrow, you will hear the details of the item which Google has found. In most cases, 50 results will be retrieved.
At the bottom of the list is an item which invites you to explore the search results using a web page instead of a List Box. The purpose of the List Box is to give you an overview of what is available. The web page could be used if you would like further detail pertaining to the results. Press Enter on the item you wish to explore and the web page will appear.
Having found an item you wish to access from the Search Results list, press Enter and the appropriate web page will load.
If you wish to return to your list of Google or DudkDuckGo results, press the Leasey Key then ALT+Left Arrow. Focus not only returns to the list but it is in exactly the same place you were when you pressed Enter to open the web page.
Having moved back to the search results list, and if you press Up or Down Arrow, from time to time you may hear the word "Visited", or, if the Leasey sounds are enabled, a sound will play. This is to indicate that you have previously accessed the search item which is focused.
Most tools in LeaseySearch allow you to bring into view a list of items you've recently searched for. When this is available, Leasey lets you know that you can type the word "recent" into the Edit Field prior to pressing Enter. So listen out for the prompt! You'll soon get to know when you can conduct recent searches and when you cannot.
If you do bring into view recent searches, a list of the last 25 items you searched for, relative to the search tool you have chosen, will be available. For example, if you've just worked through the Google exercise above, and you're accessing a list of recent searches using the Google search tool, you will only see the list of recent searches pertaining to Google. That's what you would want.
Press Down Arrow so as to reach a search term you've previously accessed and press Enter. For example, if you used the Google search tool to look for dog food in the past, and you forgot to make a note of the site you found as a result, you could access that again in the list of recent searches.
To clear the list of recent searches, into the Edit Field type the word "clear".
Youtube is a portal for uploading and sharing audio and visual content, although its primary purpose is for people to watch videos. It is the "go to place" for watching amateur videos (such as your neighbour's child singing the latest hit), through to professionally recorded and produced videos from companies and everything in between. If you want to find something to watch or listen to, we're fairly confident you will find it on Youtube.
Activating the "Youtube" item from the LeaseySearch menu will prompt you for a search term. Type it in and press Enter.
The Youtube results will appear in a List Box. The list is slightly different to that giving results for Google and DuckDuckGo as explained above. Each item in the list contains:
Close to the bottom of the list is an item which is entitled "Next Page". YouTube only displays a small number of results at a time. Therefore, to see more of them, press Enter on "Next Page". A new set of results will appear. If you have done this, again, close to the bottom of the list, a new item will be displayed which is "Back to the Start". This takes you back to the first page of results.
At the bottom of the list is an item which invites you to explore the search results using a web page instead of a List Box. The purpose of the List Box is to give you an overview of what is available. The web page could be used if you would like further detail pertaining to the results. Press Enter on the item you wish to explore and the web page will appear.
Having found an item you wish to access from the Search Results list, press Enter and the appropriate video web page will load.
If you wish to return to your list of YouTube results, irrespective of the results page you have loaded, press the Leasey Key then ALT+Left Arrow. Focus not only returns to the list but it is in exactly the same place you were when you pressed Enter to open the web page.
Having moved back to the search results list, and if you press Up or Down Arrow, from time to time you may hear the word "Visited", or, if the Leasey sounds are enabled, a sound will play. This is to indicate that you have previously accessed the search item which is focused.
When a video has been activated:
LeaseyNews is an application which delivers news stories from around the world from various sources. Currently there are over 80 news sources available. Pressing Enter on "News" will bring into view a list of news sources. Press the Down Arrow key to select the one in which you're interested and press Enter. Note that if you press Enter on the final item in the list, "Search Headlines", you will be invited to type in a key word or phrase which will enable Leasey to search over 5000 news sources across the web.
You will notice at the top of the list of news sources there are seven categories with each one being preceeded by a number. Pressing Enter on any of these categories will give you a broader range of news articles pertaining to the category you have selected. These should be relative to your country if you have selected one of the supported countries in Leasey's Hotkey Help.
The categories are entertainment, sports, business, general, health, science and technology.
Having pressed Enter on any item in the list, after a short pause, the JAWS Results Viewer will display a list of the news stories pertaining to the source. Each news story is hyperlinked. Below each story you will find a brief summary of it.
If you have selected a news source which is not in the list of numbered categories at the top of the list, Leasey will attempt to provide you with the full news story without you having to activate the link pointing to the web page from which the story is derived. This is ideal since you will not have to grapple with web sites which potentially could present accessibility difficulties. For this reason, you will notice that Leasey presents the start of each news story is a Heading. You can therefore press the letter H so as to move from one news story to the next.
It is not always possible to retrieve the full news story but every attempt will be made to do so.
To gain the most from the news application, you will want to press Down Arrow repeatedly to move through the items, so you can hear the headline and the short description.
If Leasey cannot retrieve the content of the news story, you should press Enter on the appropriate link. Leasey is able to launch the news story in your preferred web browser, such as Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome.
What happens then will depend upon the layout of the individual web site for the news source. Leasey has no control over the structure of those pages. You will notice that the list of news stories, described above, is nicely formatted as that is under Leasey's control.
On the web page which is revealed in the browser, try pressing the letter "H" repeatedly to move through the Headings as this should give you a good starting point for determining where the news story begins. You may also find audio content available, which may or may not play automatically.
To return to the list of news stories, press ALT+F4 to exit your browser, or press ALT+Tab. Either way, you will find that the list of news stories is still open, so you can continue browsing through them.
Using social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter, it's very easy these days to keep up with exactly what's going on, whether you want to know about your favourite character in a TV soap or whether we have a new Prime Minister or President. There's often a link in the post to a web page containing more details of the story. But there is another method for keeping your knowledge current, and to learn of changes to a site, and that is RSS or really simple syndication.
RSS is a web feed which allows you to gain updates to online content. Websites usually use RSS feeds to publish frequently updated information, such as blog entries, news headlines, or episodes of audio and video series. Subscribing to a website RSS removes the need for you to manually check the website for new content. Instead, a program to read the RSS feed monitors the site and informs you of any updates.
Here are a few methods of finding feeds.
First, we've provided a very small sample of feeds you can use for practice, which you can delete if you wish later on.
Undertake a search on Google. Type a phrase such as, "top RSS feeds", or, "BBC RSS feeds", and you'll get many suggestions.
If you see a link on a web site such as "Blog" or "RSS", then activate the link. JAWS may tell you if it is a correctly constructed RSS feed or not, because it will say, "RSS Feeds".
Once located on an RSS feed, press ALT+D to move to (and highlight) the Address Bar of your browser, and press Control+C to copy it to the Clipboard. The feed will usually end in an extension such as .XML or .RSS. Alternatively, you can press ALT+Control+Windows+C so as to copy the URL of the page to the Windows Clipboard.
The RSS Reader can be accessed in two ways. First, you'll find it on the LeaseySearch menu, activated by pressing the Leasey Key, followed by Control+Shift+S. You'll find it just below the News menu item. Go ahead and press Enter when it is highlighted.
However, because there is a good possibility you'll want to access this a lot, we've provided a dedicated keystroke for it, Leasey Key then Shift+R for RSS.
In the list which appears, there are several items. The number of items will vary according to how many feeds you are subscribed to, but the first four options always remain the same.
The first option is "Add Feed". Pressing Enter will ask for the URL to the feed. If you've copied a feed as described earlier, you can paste it into the Edit Field and press Enter.
The second item is "Import File Containing Feeds". If you've got a file containing feeds you've exported from a previous RSS Reader you can import all the feeds from that file into the Leasey RSS Reader.
Below these items you will find any feeds you have added. We have provided you with some samples which you can always delete at a later time.
So, find the first sample, which is "BBC News", and press Enter. The latest RSS feeds will load. Leasey will try to obtain the most recent posts, with the most recent displayed first. Each post subject or headline begins with a new level 2 Heading. The reason for this will become apparent later, but it does mean you can press number 2 to move from one post to another. The subject is also hyperlinked, so you can press Enter to move to the web page containing full details of the story.
Below the subject, you will find a description for the blog post if it exists. One difficulty we've had is that RSS feeds are produced in many different formats and authors do not always adhere to providing consistent content. In our experience, the BBC provide by far the most well-constructed content, and so we will see there is a description below each link and heading, which is a brief summary of the story in question.
Finally, a blank line separates the description, if there is one, from the next post.
The text from the RSS feed is displayed using your web browser. So, when you press Enter on a link to launch the web page for the article in your browser, it is opened in a separate tab. To move to the next item of interest, press Control+F4 to close down the tab containing the news story and you should return to the RSS Viewer page.
In order to close the feed, press ALT+F4 so as to exit out of your browser window.
The quickest way of returning to your feeds is by pressing the Leasey Key then Shift+R. Focus will be at the point in the list you visited previously.
Let us now add a feed, using the first item on the RSS Reader menu. The feed we have chosen is:
https://www.blindbargains.com/rss/latest.xml
This is an excellent feed for a particular reason. The Description field for each of the posts is extremely lengthy. The descriptions often contain rich content such as Headings and bulleted lists. Leasey is able to preserve this content and display it to you. But there are no level 1 headings, which is why we set each post title at level 1 for easy navigation using figure 1 on the numbers row of the keyboard.
In the event you wish to delete an RSS feed from your list, you do so in the same way you would delete anything else from any of the other Leasey lists. Focus on it in the list and press the Leasey Key followed by Delete.
Finally, we come to the RSS Import Tool. It could be that you have subscribed to RSS feeds in a dedicated RSS Reader or indeed a web browser. If so, you can export these to a file, typically with an OPML extension.
If you would like to try the Import Tool, here is how to use it. If a particular feed imported does not function correctly, you can always delete it.
LeaseyCast is available from LeaseySearch under the name "Podcast Search". It is so named in this menu so as to provide first letter navigation. However, you can always reach it quickly by pressing the Leasey Key then Shift+P.
Pressing Enter on this screen gives you a number of choices.
You will have noticed that the first five options are all preceeded with a number. This means you can use first letter navigation to bypass all of those options to reach your favourite feeds quickly.
If you have searched the iTunes directory for a podcast name or category, a list of results is returned. This is in the form of a list box, with each item containing the name of the podcast. Simply locate the item you want and press Enter.
The JAWS Results Viewer screen will appear containing information concerning the podcast feed you have selected. You should remember that this page is only giving you sample details of episodes. If you wish to obtain older episodes, or to play them, you should add the podcast to your LeaseyCast Favourites list. The items on the page include:
To delete a podcast, simply focus on it from within the list of podcasts and, in the usual manner in which Leasey items are removed, press the Leasey Key followed by Delete. This equally applies if our list of suggested podcast titles is displayed. You do not need to keep all of these in your list of favourites.
Hopefully by this point you will have added some podcasts to your Favourites list. You will know if you have done so because you will see the podcast names in the list underneath the items described above.
From the LeaseyCast list, press Enter on one of the podcast names. A web page is opened in your browser. It contains the following items:
At the very bottom of the page, navigational links may appear. If the feed contains more than 10 episodes, you will see links for Previous Page and Next Page. For example, pressing Enter on the Previous Page link will allow you to see earlier episodes in the feed.
Almost certainly you will wish to check whether there are new episodes for your favourite podcasts. Please follow these steps in order to do so:
As the name suggests, the Podcast Download Manager allows you to download any podcast episodes to your computer. When you initiate a download, you will find the file in your default Downloads folder; the same folder where any other file you download from the internet would be placed. Because many podcast file names do not reflect the titles of the episodes, Leasey renames the file to reflect the episode title.
The calculator is used online. It allows you to carry out a wide variety of calculations in several different ways. It is accessed from the LeaseySearch menu or from any application by pressing the Leasey Key then Shift+C.
When the value is typed, press Enter. Within a short period, the result is displayed using the JAWS Virtual Viewer, so it can easily be copied or examined carefully.
Some results which are retrieved are displayed with several decimal places after the primary number. In such a situation, on the next line following the calculation, you will notice the result has been truncated to two decimal places for convenience if that is required.
Special Note. Rather than typing the original value for calculation into the Edit Field and activate the calculator from LeaseySearch, you can select (or highlight) the text from within any application. Then, press the Leasey Key followed by Shift+C. The Edit Field will display the value. Press Enter and the expression is calculated. This is ideal if you have a lengthy calculation to do.
In part, the term "Weather Application" is a bit of a misnomer. This is because it can do more than let you know the weather condition, either local to you or from around the world. It can also:
The Weather application is highly configurable. We will describe the standard information it gives together with how you can customise the output. You can launch weather from LeaseySearch or by pressing the shortcut Leasey Key then Shift+W.
When you enter the Weather search tool, as prompted, you can search by typing a city or town name, postal or zip code. There is a list of recent searches in the event you've obtained the weather from several locations which you wish to access frequently by typing the word "recent" and then pressing Enter.
If you are looking for a particular place name, it is suggested that you type for example the town name, then a comma, then a larger region or even country name. A good example might be: Birmingham, Alabama. Clearwater, South Carolina. Manchester, United Kingdom. You do not need to use capital letters.
If you are not sure of the spelling of a location, or you wish to ascertain whether a particular local area is available, type the word "Search" into the Edit Field and press Enter. You will be asked to type the first few letters of the place name you are searching for. If you typed "london", and press Enter, Leasey would bring back some results beginning with those letters. An example might be Clerkenwell, Islington, Greater London, United Kingdom. Press the Down Arrow key to explore them and Enter to accept the chosen location.
If you type the word, "nearby", into the Edit Field, and press Enter, Leasey will try and determine your current location and provide appropriate information.
In this example, we will type the word, Dublin, into the Edit Field and press Enter. Within a very short period of time, information similar to the following would be displayed:
Location is Dublin
Region is "Dublin
Country is Ireland
Local date and time: Thursday 27 April 2023 09:51 AM
The temperature is 10C which is 50F
Current weather Summary: Partly cloudy"
Wind Speed is 19KPH
Humidity is 82%
Feels like 8C which is 46F
Minimum temperature: 6C which is 42F
Maximum temperature: 11C which is 51F
Average temperature: 9C which is 48F
The forecast ahead is Overcast".
Sunrise: 6:00 AM.
Sunset: 08:47 PM.
Moonrise: 10:52 AM.
Moonset: 03:51 AM.
Moon Phase: :"First Quarter.
Moon illumination: 42%.
You could at this point press Escape to exit the screen. However, there are several links at the end of the forecast. The number of links can vary, but in the main, they are:
If you activate the link "Configure the Weather", there are a number of options you can customise. Read the Links with the Arrow keys, and press Enter on the statement which you require. The options available are:
The temperature will be Celsius.
The temperature will be Farenheight .
The temperature will be both Celsius and Farenheight .
The wind speed will be reported in Miles Per Hour.
The wind speed will be reported in Kilometres Per Hour.
The wind speed will be reported in Miles Per Hour and Kilometres Per Hour.
The sun and moon information will be available.
The sun and moon information will not be available.
The weather for today and upcoming days will be displayed on a single page in the Results Viewer . This means that when your weather search is returned, the JAWS Results Viewer displays the upcoming weather information for seven days ahead in one screen rather than using separate screens which has been the case since 2019. You can press the letter H to move through headings if necessary, since the start of each new day and the 24-hour forecast for the day is denoted by a levelled heading.
The weather for only the current day will be displayed in the JAWS Virtual Viewer with links to forecast and upcoming days . This is the older method of displaying the weather information. It is slightly faster than accessing the data displayed in the Results Viewer.
The final three items have special significance and will be described shortly.
Finally, you are invited to "Press Escape to close this window".
Note that the next time you enter the weather application, the place name you previously searched for is displayed. This means that if you only ever search under one location, you do not need to type anything. You can just press Enter so as to carry out the search for the latest data.
Activating the hour by hour forecast Link will present the following information to you for each hour of the day.
In the event that the percentage for any one of the weather conditions is zero, it is not listed in the hour by hour summary. To move between the hours in a forward direction, press letter P. To move back, press Shift+P.
A link exists at the end of the screen to return to the weather summary for the selected day.
If you have elected to have all the weather information displayed on a single page, the hour by hour forecast for each day is denoted by a level 3 heading.
It is possible to instruct Leasey to monitor for changes in weather condition for one location.
At the end of the Weather Configuration Screen, there are three options:
This is an incredibly simple temperature conversion tool which can be used offline. It allows you to convert a value between Celsius to Fahrenheit and vice-versa.
Press Enter on this item and you are prompted to enter the original value. For example, if you wish to convert 68 degrees Fahrenheit to Celsius, you would type 68F. If you wanted to convert 18 degrees Celsius to Fahrenheit, you would type 18C. The letters C or F do not need to be capitalised.
Press Enter and the result is instantly converted and displayed using the JAWS Virtual Viewer.
The Leasey Currency Converter has been designed to help you to convert currencies in a number of different ways and it will also give you an estimate of the latest rates for a given currency. It is easy to use, (or there is an advanced interface), it's fast and reliable. The exchange rates are updated every 60 seconds. The data is sourced from financial data providers and banks, including the European Central Bank.
To get to the Currency Converter, enter LeaseySearch by pressing the Leasey Key then Control+Shift+S. Press letter "C" for Convert currency, followed by Enter. Alternatively, you can locate it by using the Up or Down Arrow keys.
There are two ways of entering a currency conversion. We will walk through them one at a time.
First, as prompted, type in a value. Let us assume we want to convert 100 pounds to American dollars. Enter the value 100 and press Enter.
You are now presented with a list of currencies to convert from. Use the up or down arrow keys to find a currency, or first letter navigation if you prefer. Then press Enter. In this example select the item British Pound.
You will notice as you navigate the list that you are hearing abbreviations together with the name of the currency. We'll come back to these abbreviations later.
You now have a secondary list of currencies to convert to. Again, locate the one you want with the up or down Arrow Keys, or first letter navigation, and press Enter. In this example select United States Dollar.
Now you will receive the results using the JAWS Virtual viewer. You see the conversion rate for your chosen amount, followed by the current exchange rate. As prompted, just press Escape to close the window. The output will look like this:
300 British Pound Sterling. 379.52 United States Dollar. This equates to 1.26508 United States Dollar to British Pound Sterling. Press Escape to Close this Window.
We will now work through another example, so this time, we'll go through exactly the same procedure, but convert 200 pounds to Canadian Dollars.
As we move into the first list, where we specify the currency to convert from, you will notice that focus has not landed at the top of the list. Instead, the option highlighted is the one you used last. This is a convenient feature. If you regularly convert from one currency to another, you can work faster because you do not need to locate anything. Just press Enter. It's like having a default option. So we can press Enter now on British Pound as that is the highlighted choice.
The same is true of the next list. If there is a currency you regularly convert to, then the default option is available to you. Just press Enter as it is highlighted. Of course there's no problem in changing this at any time if you wish. Leasey will always remember the last option you used.
Again, our results are brought back. 200 British Pound Sterling. 341.28 Canadian Dollar. This equates to 1.70640 Canadian Dollar to British Pound Sterling. Press Escape to Close this Window.
It is possible to bypass the currency lists entirely. When you first enter the Currency Converter, you can type a value, followed by space, an abbreviation for the original currency, a space, and an abbreviation for the currency to convert to. For example, you may know that the abbreviation for British pound is GBP, and that Australian dollars are represented by AUD. So type:
250 gbp aud and press enter.
The results are:
250 British Pound Sterling. 454.386 Australian Dollar. This equates to 1.81754 Australian Dollar to British Pound Sterling. Press Escape to Close this Window.
You do not have to use this method. You can use the lists as often as you want. But if while navigating the lists you learn what the abbreviations are, and if you convert currencies regularly, this is a faster method of access.
Following on from this, if you enter a value, a space, then the abbreviation for the currency to convert from, then press Enter, Leasey assumes that you do not need that list, and will take you immediately to the second one. For example, if you type
1000 USD
and press Enter, you are taken straight to the list for the second currency.
LeaseySearch contains two utilities allowing you to find out what time it is in almost any location in the world. The first makes it possible to learn the current time in a specific location. The second allows you to specify not only both locations for conversion, but in addition you can enter a precise date and time.
When you activate this item from LeaseySearch, you are requested to type a location, such as Orlando, Florida, and press Enter. Alternatively, you can type the word "Recent", press Enter, and a list of recent place names will be displayed. Press Enter on any one of them. You can also type an appropriate abbreviation, such as Elkview, WV .
However the place name has been entered, you get results similar to this.
Location: Orlando, Florida
Timezone: America/New_York
Date-Time: February 19, 2025 02:01:22
Time (24-hour): 02:01:22
Time (12-hour): 02:01:22 AM
This allows you to convert between not only your own time and another location at a specific date and time, but also from two completely different locations.
For example, you have a virtual meeting at 7 PM next Wednesday, hosted in the UK which is not your native country. You want to find out how that equates to your time zone. The previously described tool would allow you to see the local time as it is now, so potentially you could work it out, but not a precise time of your choosing. Moreover, working it out for yourself using the current time may mean that your calculation is at fault, since you may not have taken into account if the time has changed, perhaps in March or October.
Alternatively, you can enter two different locations, and find out how they relate to each other. So if you are assisting someone to work with this feature, you can enter that person's original time zone and the one you wish to convert to.
If you are always going to use your own local time to convert from, you may like to set this as a default location. This means you never need to enter the location to convert from manually as is described below. Here's how to set your default location for this feature to work. To repeat, this is an optional step. You can enter the location manually every time if you wish.
When you enter this utility, you are first asked the location to convert from. If you press Enter without typing anything, Leasey refers to your location you have previously set as the default. If you have not set your default location, the prompt is as follows: "Please enter the town, city or country to convert from, then press Enter. Please do not leave this field empty as you have not set a default country for time conversions."
You are next asked for the location to convert to, such as Orlando, Florida, and press Enter. You cqan also type an appropriate abbreviation, such as Elkview, WV .
Finally, we ask you for the precise date and time. Please read this section of the documentation very carefully. This can be entered in a number of different ways.
24 hour format.
UK.
24062025:23:05
US.
06242025:23:05
This would give you the time for 11:05 PM on the 24th of June.
12 hour format.
UK.
24062025:11:05PM
US.
06242025:11:05PM
There is a certain amount of latitude built into this. So you could write:
UK.
24062025:11PM
US.
06242025:11PM
for the 11 O'Clock hour on that date. But if you are going to specify minutes, you must use a colon separator between the hours and minutes so Leasey can differentiate between hours and minutes.
The results which come back would be similar to this.
Original Time: June 24, 2025 11:00:00
Converted Time: June 24, 2025 06:00:00
Difference in Hours: 5
Difference in Minutes: 300

With the Holidays utility in LeaseySearch, retrieve religious, non-public and public holidays for over 200 countries for a given date, month or year. Years are supported from 2001. You can either request the holidays for a specific year, month and year, or day month and year.
When you enter this utility, you are first asked for the period for which the holidays are required. Please pay particular attention to the formatting of this section of the documentation. Examples to enter would be as follows:
UK Format.
Full day
26122022
Month and year
122022

If you are wanting to find a food recipe, Leasey is probably going to get it for you. The Leasey Recipes feature can search many thousands of recipes. If the recipe lives on the internet somewhere, she undoubtedly will find it!
When you search for a recipe, you need to be fairly specific as to what it is you would like to find. This is because only a small number of recipes are retrieved based on your search. The chances are however that a small number of variations of a single recipe ought to be sufficient to give you what you need.
When you launch this function from LeaseySearch, type what you would like to find. To repeat, the search is very robust and should find most things, for example:
Press Enter and the results are returned in a List Box. There are two groups of results.
Amazon has become well-known for its global online marketplace. Almost anything can be purchased from amazon including books, CD's, digital music, books, motorbikes, baby clothing, household items and more.
The amazon part of LeaseySearch allows you to carry out a keyword search across all categories. The results are displayed in a List Box.
While it is possible for you to select a country when you are searching for a product, you may like to set your default country for searches. This is an optional step because it is possible for you to search within a store in the countries supported by Leasey. However, if you would like to set your default location, please follow these steps.
To search for an Amazon product, please follow these steps:
After a short pause, you are presented with a list of results. You are advised not to use the keyboard while the search is taking place. The response time will vary depending upon the use of the server accommodating the data. Use the Up and Down Arrow keys to move through the list. The results contain an overview as to the product type you are searching for. At the bottom of the list there is an option to visit the web page of results where more information could be obtained, but the list Leasey produces should give you an appreciation as to what Amazon has found for you. The items in the list include:
Press Enter on any item in the results list so as to view the web page for the product and potentially purchase it.
If you wish to return to your list of Amazon results, press the Leasey Key then ALT+Left Arrow. Focus not only returns to the list but it is in exactly the same place you were when you pressed Enter to open the web page.
Having moved back to the search results list, and if you press Up or Down Arrow, from time to time you may hear the word "Visited", or, if the Leasey sounds are enabled, a sound will play. This is to indicate that you have previously accessed the search item which is focused.
eBay is the world's online marketplace; a place for buyers and sellers to come together and buy or sell almost anything! A seller lists an item on eBay, from antiques to cars, books to sporting goods. The seller chooses to accept only bids for the item (an auction-type listing) or to offer the Buy It Now option, which allows buyers to purchase the item straight away at a fixed price.
The EBay part of LeaseySearch allows you to carry out a keyword search across all categories. The results are displayed in a List Box.
While it is possible for you to select a country when you are searching for a product, you may like to set your default country for searches. This is an optional step because it is possible for you to search within a store in the countries supported by Leasey. However, if you would like to set your default location, please follow these steps.
To search for an EBay product, please follow these steps:
After a short pause, you are presented with a list of results. Use the Up and Down Arrow keys to move through the list. At the bottom of the list there is an option to visit the web page of results where more information could be obtained, but the list Leasey produces should give you an appreciation as to what has found for you.
Press Enter on any item in the results list so as to view the web page for the product and potentially purchase it.
Each item in the list can contain:
To repeat, JAWS may not recite all of this information. It will depend upon the status of the individual product.
If you wish to return to your list of EBay results, press the Leasey Key then ALT+Left Arrow. Focus not only returns to the list but it is in exactly the same place you were when you pressed Enter to open the web page.
Having moved back to the search results list, and if you press Up or Down Arrow, from time to time you may hear the word "Visited", or, if the Leasey sounds are enabled, a sound will play. This is to indicate that you have previously accessed the search item which is focused.
When typing a product to search for into the Edit Field, you can add a parameter to narrow the search results. There are two such parameters.
The iTunes component of LeaseySearch allows you to search for an item, either to preview it, read information about the performers, find out the cost, hear it in full on apple Music, or more easily purchase it.
An Edit Field is available, whereupon you can type what you would like to search for. There is a great deal of flexibility with this Edit Field. You could, for example, type in a song title. Alternatively, you could type the full song title and artist, such as "I Keep Coming Back to You Beth Nielsen Chapman". You could also enter an incomplete term, such as "I Keep Coming back Beth". Press Enter when the search term has been entered.
You are then asked to specify what kind of search you would like. Is it a song, album title or artist name? Use the Down Arrow key to select the criteria. The first item, "Song", is the best option to use as this not only gives you the widest choice, but also there are ways of being able to get to the album on which the item is featured, as we will see. Press Enter on the appropriate option.
A screen is now available which should be self-explanatory. It shows the artist name, the album on which it is featured, the song title which is hyperlinked, the price, whether the song contains explicit content, and a Link to listen to a short sample of the song. Pressing Enter on the "Listen" link will play the song sample. To stop the audio playing, press ALT+Control+Windows+S. To pause the audio, press ALT+Control+Windows+P. To change the volume level, press ALT+Control+Windows+Up or Down Arrow keys.
Press Enter on the song title so as to view the page for the album on which the song is featured. You will find a good deal of information on the page, including biographical data.
If you wish, you can read the page containing the tracks on the album. Next to each title is a Button containing a number of the track. Press the Space Bar on the Button so as to preview the song. Pressing it again will pause the preview. If you press F3, you should locate the track in which you were interested. This time however, you are viewing that on the album page.
If you press the Space Bar on the Button "Listen on Apple Music", iTunes launches. You will be located on the Apple Music page, in iTunes, for the album from which the song derives. Pressing F3 will cause the cursor to be placed on the song and, if you have an Apple Music subscription, pressing Space Bar will allow you to hear it in full.
If, on the other hand, you wish to purchase the song or album, from the album page press Space Bar on the "View in iTunes" Button. You can then gain further information including product ratings and reviews.
From here, press Space Bar on the "View in" Button. The easiest way to reach it is by pressing Shift+B. iTunes will launch and again, you will be on the Store page pertaining to the song or album. Press the letter "B", and you will be able to purchase it by pressing the Space Bar.
While it mighht seem as though there are a number of steps involved in this process, it does have a number of advantages:
If you just want to use LeaseySearch to preview something on the web, you do not need iTunes installed.
Lets now look at the other two search options in the category "Search iTunes on the Web".
Search by album works in a very similar way to "Search by Song" except that, at the time of writing, there are no samples to hear. Pressing Enter on the link for the album however will allow you to view its contents and hear audio samples.
Selecting "Artist or Group" will bring back a web page containing everything there is to see about the performers.
TVMaze is a huge database of TV shows past and present. Using Leasey, search for a TV show which is airing now or which has done so in the past. Simply type the name of the show and press Enter. It is useful to learn about shows of the past and those which are airing now. It will return:
When retrieving episode information, the following is available to you:
To use LeaseySearch with Netflix:
When a video has been activated:
Please note that occasionally these keystrokes need a little cajoling in order for them to work. This is a Netflix limitation. If you find for example that Play and Pause is not functioning, wait a second or two and try again.
The other Netflix-related item on the LeaseySearch menu is "Netflix Audio Description". When activated, this takes you to the page on the Netflix website containing all movies and TV shows which have the audio description soundtrack applied. Again, press Enter on any one of these items to play it.
Disney+ is the streaming home of Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars and National Geographic, so whatever your mood there’s something for everyone to enjoy. It's an extraordinary library of entertainment!
From Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast and The Little Mermaid to Frozen and the recent remake of The Lion King starring Beyonce. These much-loved movies sit alongside hundreds of Disney Channel series, shorts and specials available to stream including Phineas and Ferb and DuckTales, plus classic feelgood films like Mrs Doubtfire, Home Alone and Sister Act.
Leasey gives you some limited access to Disney+. Due to the way the site is constructed for desktop use, not to mention geographical limitations, it is not possible to provide you with the experience we would like. However, our main purpose for including Disney+ is to give you access to audio player controls. What follows therefore is some general guidance on how you might carry out some basic tasks with Disney+.
From the LeaseySearch menu, select Disney+.
This will take you to the Disney+ website.
From the top of the page, press the letter "E" and you will reach the "Search" edit field, labelled "Search by title, character, or genre".
Ensure Forms Mode is active and enter a movie name you might like to search for.
Now exit Forms Mode. You do not need to press Enter to carry out the search. You will find the results are underneat the Edit Field.
Each movie is indicated with a Link on which you can press Enter.
Pressing the letter "B" will either take you to a "Play" or "Resume" Button, whichever is appropriate. Focus on the desired Button and press the Space Bar.
The movie will begin to play. You can then use the following keystrokes.
To enable Audio Description where it exists, you can work through a one-time process. Once done, the audio description is available for all movies.
Just Watch is a streaming search engine for movies and TV shows. They show you where you can legally watch movies and TV shows that you love. You are kept up to date with what is new on Netflix, Amazon Prime, iTunes and many other streaming platforms. They also tell you where and when to watch movies on the big screen so you never miss when a movie is running in cinema again.
Select the "Just Watch" item from the LeaseySearch menu. When prompted, type the title of a movie or TV show and press the Enter key.
Leasey automatically detects the country in which you live and will display a web page containing details of the movie or TV show in question. Links relative to the movie or TV show allow you to view more details if required.
7digital allows you to purchase high quality music. When this option is activated, type the song title, artist or album name into the edit field and press Enter. You will be placed in a web page containing your search results.
Wikipedia provides an ideal way for you to retrieve information concerning almost any subject matter you wish to search for. Examples could include music artists, famous actors, authors of books, politicians, celebrities and many many more. In summary, it is an online encyclopaedia.
When "Wikipedia" is selected by pressing Enter from the LeaseySearch menu, a Dialog Box will appear with an Edit Field in focus, requesting your search term. Simply type it in and press Enter. You will be prompted to begin each word with a capital letter.
Leasey will search the Wikipedia website for the term you have entered and bring back the appropriate Wikipedia entry. Focus is set to the starting point of it. This is not a summary of the article. While Wikipedia entries can be very extensive, this means that the pages are quite large, so feel free to use the following navigation or reading techniques:
This service allows you to track a parcel from hundreds of major couriers worldwide.
Regardless of the online store or the market you have purchased, you should be able to trace the full path of the order with the parcel tracking service
This includes couriers such as USPS, Canada Post, Royal Mail, UPS, Fedex, eBay and Amazon. In each case, you should be able to see a history of the tracked item and the expected delivery date.
Having selected this item, when prompted by Leasey enter the tracking reference number and press Enter. In the case of Amazon, the order number is required which you should have available as part of your Order History on the Amazon site or sent to you by Email.
A screen is then revealed containing the appropriate information, such as:

Goodreads is an Amazon company and " social cataloguing" website. The site allows individuals to freely search Goodreads' extensive user-populated database of books, annotations, and reviews. Users can sign up and register books to generate library catalogs and reading lists. They can also create their own groups of book suggestions, surveys/polls, blogs, and discussions. The site has in excess of 20 million members, and details of reading preferences, book recommendations and reviews can be shared using social media, such as Twitter or Facebook.
The Goodreads component of LeaseySearch allows you to search by book author, title, genre (such as crime or romance), and by Goodreads username. Clearly, you will need to know the username of the person whose Goodreads profile and page you wish to view prior to using this final item.
To search for an item on Goodreads, please follow these steps:
How you navigate Goodreads from this point will vary depending upon the page you are viewing. However, some useful navigational techniques include:
If you have selected Bookshare or Audible from the LeaseySearch menu, you will be asked what you would like to search for, such as a book title or author. Type it in and press Enter.
Leasey will very quickly check the appropriate website to see if results are available which match your search criteria. If so, you will be advised of this and after a short pause the appropriate web page will be loaded into your web browser containing the search results. Focus will be set to the first one. You can then explore the page in the usual manner.
If you search for books on the audible website, additional functionality is available to you. When focused on the link containing the book title, press the Leasey key then ALT+Control+S to hear a summary of the book without you having to activate the page and search for it yourself. This information is displayed within the JAWS Virtual Viewer, so you can read the summary with the Arrow keys if you wish. When you have finished reading the synopsis, press Escape. If having heard the summary you do not wish to purchase it, you can skip to the next result by pressing the letter G, whereupon the Leasey key followed by ALT+Control+S can be pressed again to hear the next summary.
For Leasey Basic users, Leasey does provide an Application Menu so as to interact with Audible Manager. The application itself can be launched from the Leasey Main Menu through the item “Hear Audible Books”.
The RNIB Home Reading service allows you to view details of, and download, DAISY books from the online catalogue.
In the most part, the site is exceptionally accessible. However, LeaseySearch does offer a significant advantage in that you can quickly and easily find a book title or author you would like to read.
When the "RNIB Home Reading Service" item is activated from within LeaseySearch, when prompted type the name of a book title or author you would like to search for. Then press Enter.
After a short pause, the necessary page will load and focus should be placed on the first result. You can then use conventional web navigation and reading techniques to explore and download the titles. We strongly recommend that you read the online documentation located within the Home reading Service so as to familiarise yourself with the procedure for downloading books.
When you select the Canadian CELA Catalogue from the LeaseySearch menu, after a short pause the Home Page will be made available.
You are first placed in the Edit Field into which you can type the author, book title or keyword you wish to search for. Simply type it in and press Enter to carry out the search.
The search will now be carried out. This may take a few seconds. When the search results are returned, focus is placed at the first book title found. Press the Down Arrow key repeatedly to move through the titles. If you wish to skip to the next one, bypassing details of the current title you are reading, press the letter "H".
If you reach a book title you would like to hear more about, press Enter on the appropriate link for it. After a short pause, you will hear details of the book found and the cursor will be placed at the start of relevant information pertaining to it.
Please go ahead and read this with the Arrow keys. If you wish to borrow the book, press the Leasey Key then "B". If you would like to return to your search results, press ALT+Left Arrow and the cursor should be placed at the point on the page where you left it.
Note that if you are working through the search results, and you find a title you wish to loan, it is possible to borrow it without activating the book details page. Simply place the cursor on the book title you wish to borrow and press the Leasey Key then “B”.
If you wish to carry out a further search, you should return to the LeaseySearch menu and select the Cela Library Catalogue again.
There are two options on the LeaseySearch menu relating to the National Library Service, depending upon whether you would like to search for audio or Braille titles only.
Having activated the appropriate item from the LeaseySearch menu to access the NLS catalogue, a further sub-menu is presented to you containing six items, reflecting the searches you can perform. These are:
Having activated any one of these options by pressing Enter, you may be confronted with an Edit Field into which the appropriate text as described above should be typed. When this has been done, please press Enter.
You will be advised to "please wait". After a pause of a few seconds, a screen will be brought into view within the JAWS Results Viewer, containing the results of your search.
The Search Results screen will contain:
As described previously, it is possible to press the letter "H" to move from one book to the next, however here are some other good navigation techniques.
Books can be downloaded by pressing Enter on any one of the Links. When this is done, you are taken to a web page inviting you to sign in with your library cridentials, consisting of an Email address and password. You can move through the fields by repeatedly pressing the Tab key. Please complete the fields as necessary and activate the "Login" button by pressing the Space Bar.
You are now on the NLS website with the page for the book in focus. From here, you can download the book in the usual way and transfer it to your portable device for playback.
Usefully, if you close the book download page by pressing ALT+F4, the list of books returned from your search is still available to you. This is helpful if you wish to download a series of books as you do not need to carry out the search again. The cursor remains at the point in the list in which you were previously located prior to downloading the book.
From time to time, the National Library Service do carry out maintenance on the server from which Leasey gathers its information and from where books are downloaded. In such a situation, search results cannot be retrieved. Should this occur, you will be advised that "no search results are available". We suggest that you be patient and try carrying out the search again at a later time.
Music streaming services are more popular than ever these days. Despite the rise of certain platforms like Spotify and others, Last.fm is actually an older one that's still remains a popular choice today.
Last.fm allows you to stream music for free while combining your favorite music with great listening, watching and sharing features too. What sets Last.fm apart from other services is that it aims to learn what you like by paying attention to the music you listen to, and then uses advanced technology to build a detailed profile for you so that it can provide the best personalized musical recommendations.
The platform was a popular social network for music enthusiasts long before other social music services arrived. But we are using it for something quite different. One of the cool things about Last.FM is its huge database of track information. This includes thousands of artist and group biographies, details of music tracks such as how successful they were and in some cases chart positions, song lyrics and album track listings. If you are at all interested in music, or if you work with it, you may well want to check out the Last.FM database at some point.
You will find the Last.FM support on the LeaseySearch menu, activated by pressing the Leasey Key then Control+Shift+S.
Having entered LeaseySearch, press letter L to move to Last.FM and then press Enter.
The Last.FM screen gives you three choices at present. Search by artist, album and track. We'll take them in the order in which they are presented. First letter navigation is possible. If you use this tool frequently, speed will be of the essence after all.
But Artist is the first item on the list, so press Enter.
We are now asked for the name of the artist or group. Type The Supremes. Capitalisation is not iportant here, so we can enter "The space Supremes", and press Enter.
We are advised that Leasey is ready for you to read the text and you will note how fast the response time is. All information Leasey delivers from Last.FM is displayed using the JAWS Results Viewer. This means that the window will always stay open and accessible, even if you switch to another application.
You can read the content by pressing Insert+Down Arrow, or one line at a time with Down Arrow.
Should you wish to close the Results Viewer, press Escape.
There are several items of information on this screen.
Using this method of search, you are asked for two items: the artist or group name and the album title. You press the Enter key after typing each required item. As an example, type Fleetwood Mac as the group and Rumours as the album.
Pressing Enter causes three items of information to be displayed.
Note that if you did not enter any information into the "Artist or Group" field, but you entered part or whole of an album title in the "Title" field, a list of albums is available to you which match the search criteria. Press Enter on any one of these items to display results of an album and its track listing as described above. This is particularly helpful for movie soundtracks.
If you did not enter any information into the "Album Title" field, but you entered an artist or group name into the "Group or Artist" field, a list of albums recorded by, or featuring, your chosen group or artist is available to you. Press Enter on any one of these items to display results of an album and its track listing as described above.
We now come to possibly the most interesting item, Search by Track.
As with the album screen, it requires two pieces of information: the artist or group name and the song title. You press the Enter key after typing each required item. Type Cher into the artist field and "Believe" into the title field.
As with the other screens, there are several items of information.
When searching for a track, if you do not enter an artist or group name, a list of possible artist or group matches will be displayed. It could be that you know the title of a song but you are not sure who recorded it, or you may only know part of the title. So, go ahead and type part of the title into the "Title" field and you will retrieve appropriate results.
If you have chosen a track from the above list of results, and you then select to hear the song on YouTube, you will find a link in the Results viewer entitled "Back to the Track List". Pressing Enter on this item will return you to the list of tracks. The focus will be placed on the track you previously selected, which should make it easier for you to locate the next one of interest.
If you enter an artist or group name into the "Artist or Group" field, but you do not type anything into the "Track Name" field, a list of tracks recorded by the artist or group will be displayed. If you wish, press Enter on any one of them to retrieve the track information.
While Leasey does provide access to the Ultimate Music Database, if you wish to be a serious user of this service we recommend you purchase our product The Muze, where the interface is significantly refined.
The Ultimate Music Database contains two sections. In the first, ("Ultimate Music Database"), you can enter details of a song or album you want to know more about, or alternatively, enter a group or artist name to retrieve their entire discography. Data is returned for both the UK and the US.
In the second, ("Ultimate Music Database Chart"), if you are interested in a specific music chart, you can search for that too. Maybe you want to know the song that was at the top of the chart when you were born. Typically, the top 50 is returned.
The first field in this Search Tool prompts you for the details of the search. Let us assume you wish to search for the song "Everlasting Love". Type the title and press Enter to move to the next screen.
Next, Leasey wants to know whether this is an album or single. Alternatively, you can specify a group or artist. Press down Arrow to move to the appropriate option, and again, press enter. We will return to artists and groups later because there are special circumstances pertaining to what happens if you select this option.
After a short pause, you will be focused on the results comprising information from both the UK and US charts so they can easily be referenced. Because these results are in a table, you will need to use the JAWS table navigation keys to move through the columns and rows. These are ALT+Control Up, Down, Left and Right Arrows. Pressing ALT+Control+Down Arrow repeatedly will move through the rows. Pressing ALT+Control+Right Arrow should not only read the information in the table cell, but JAWS has been instructed to read the column header as well so the information in the table has context. Pressing Down Arrow by itself, as is the case with many tables, does not provide sufficient information for you to know about the information relevant to each column, especially when some table cells may be empty, so it is important to read the data in this way.
If you were to select the "Artist or Group" item in the previous screen, and pressed Enter, the entire discography of the group or artist is retrieved. Focus should be on the table containing the albums. These can be read in the same manner as before, or alternatively, press the letter "T" so as to move to the table containing the singles.
Activating this option presents you with a very straightforward screen. Into the Edit Field available, type the date of the chart you would like to retrieve. You would type this in line with the date format as specified in the LeaseyManager. In Britain for example, to retrieve the chart from 2 June 1976, we would type 02061976.
Leasey will prompt you for the appropriate date format based upon what has been selected. Press Enter when the date has been typed.
Next you are asked whether you would like to retrieve the chart of singles or albums. Select the choice from the list and press enter.
Finally, Leasey would like to know whether you wish to read the chart for the UK or US. Again, select the relevant option from the list and press Enter.
After a short pause, the chart will be retrieved and you will be placed in the table relating to it.
Because these results are in a table, you will need to use the JAWS table navigation keys to move through the columns and rows. These are ALT+Control Up, Down, Left and Right Arrows. Pressing ALT+Control+Down Arrow repeatedly will move through the rows. Pressing ALT+Control+Right Arrow should not only read the information in the table cell, but JAWS has been instructed to read the column header as well so the information in the table has context. Pressing Down Arrow by itself, as is the case with many tables, does not provide sufficient information for you to know about the information relevant to each column, especially when some table cells may be empty.
