(Job Access With Speech) is a computer screen reader program for Microsoft Windows that allows blind and visually impaired users to read the screen either with a text-to-speech output or by a Refreshable Braille display. JAWS is produced by the Blind and Low Vision Group of Freedom Scientific. There are two versions of the program: the home use edition for non-commercial use and the professional edition for commercial environments. JAWS was originally created for the MS-DOS operating system. It was one of several screen readers giving blind users access to text-mode MS-DOS applications.
"For end users, this provides an option to spread the purchase of a full JAWS license over an extended time period."
Freedom Scientific today announced the release of a 90-day license of JAWS for Windows Professional, the worlds most popular Windows screen reader.
The 90-day license represents a great opportunity for companies who wish to test the accessibility of their Web pages or their applications under development.
Agencies can use the 90-day license to test at job sites and start new employees on JAWS immediately.
For end users, this provides an option to spread the purchase of a full JAWS license over an extended time period.
After purchase, the Activation Code for the 90-day trial license will be provided with instructions for downloading and installing the software from the Freedom Scientific Downloads Web page.
Once the 90-day period has expired, the product can be reordered for another 90-day license, or a full license can be purchased for continued use of the installed software.
