JAWS for Windows is the international standard for screen reading software. As Windows software has evolved, JAWS has risen to meet the challenge to allow
blind and low vision users access to the same information that others have on the World Wide Web, in popular applications, and when reading specialized
document formats such as PDF or HTML.
Furthermore, JAWS is part of a family of products for blind and low vision computer users, which includes screen magnification software, scanning and reading
software, a PDA for the blind, Braille displays, and notetakers. The newest versions of Freedom Scientific’ s products not only work with each other, but
also do not interfere with other accessibility products on the same PC.
Your decision to use JAWS as your computer screen reader is an excellent choice. With JAWS you’ ll find that your access to the Internet is unparalleled.
Using JAWS with Microsoft’ s Internet Explorer is easy, so you’ ll be surfing in no time. Additionally, JAWS supports the most popular office software products
so that you’ ll be able to work in the same software environment as other Windows computer users. There are numerous other applications that are supported
in JAWS, including word processors, encyclopedias, financial and spreadsheet packages, e-mail and messaging applications, and more.
For Braille users, JAWS provides functionality that improves the efficiency and quality of your work when using a Braille display. It also provides an
accurate representation, in Braille, of what’ s displayed on your computer’ s screen.
There are numerous settings that allow you to customize JAWS to meet your individual needs, including how much information is provided globally and in
individual applications. Dozens of other options allow you to set your own voices, keystrokes, HTML preferences, verbosity levels, and more. With JAWS
scripting, you can customize JAWS to work with any application, such as proprietary software developed by large employers. This feature provides ultimate
flexibility and expandability, making JAWS an excellent investment for the present and future.
