JAWS for NT/2000/XP Pro
Access to today's popular applications for blind and
visually impaired individuals.
JAWS (Job Access With Speech) provides speech technology
that works with your Windows NT/2000/XP or Windows 95/98/Me operating system to
provide access to today's popular software applications and the Internet. JAWS
uses an integrated voice synthesizer and your computer's sound card to output
the content of your computer screen to speakers. JAWS also outputs to
refreshable Braille displays. This technology provides access to a wide variety
of information, education, and job related applications.
Your computer will talk immediately during the
user-friendly talking installation. JAWS installs an enhanced, multi-lingual
software speech synthesizer, "Eloquence for JFW" that works with
today's standard sound cards.
JAWS supports popular applications such as e-mail
programs, word processors, spreadsheets, web browsers, project management and
research tools, contact management software, presentation software, web
development tools, software development tools, database management software,
sound editing software, and much more.
JAWS for Windows supports all standard Windows
applications, however we have developed enhanced functionality for the most
popular applications used at home, in school, and in business today. We are
constantly expanding JAWS for Windows application specific support. For a
complete list of new application support in version 5.x, please follow the link

When using Internet Explorer, included on the program CD,
JAWS allows you to read complex web pages as if they were a word processing
document. Additionally, JAWS has special Internet features such as links lists,
frames lists, forms mode and reading HTML tables.

facility available by a few short keystrokes, true 32-bit application power and

extensive support and interoperability with our MAGic Screen Magnification

information is actually heard. Specifications can be made to the dictionary
