JAWS for Windowsscreen reading software published by Freedom Scientific
JAWS • I reviewed JAWS version 10.0.1139U • Free demo download from Freedom Scientific website http://www.freedomscientific.com/downloads/JAWS/JAWS-downloads.asp
JAWS • Purpose of Jaws is to allow full access of the computer to people with poor or no vision. • “JAWS” because it reads aloud everything written on the screen.
JAWS • Intricate program with many specific command keys that one must remember to access full benefits of software (not so easy). • Amazing software that can really open up a lot for someone with low or no vision, if they are willing to put the time and effort into learning it.
JAWS • Examples of some JAWS commands(for a laptop computer) Close active box Alt + F4 Read prior line Up Arrow Say all Caps + Down Arrow Speed up Alt + Control + Pg Up
JAWS …and now for a demonstration of its features…
JAWS When you have a chance, try it yourself. The demo is free and the JAWS help bar will navigate you through it. (remember to make sure that the volume on your computer is not off!)
