JAWS

JAWS helps people with limited vision use a Windows computer when they cannot depend on the display or a mouse. It makes information shown on the screen available as spoken audio or Braille. Users can follow what appears in the interface and move through computer content while carrying out everyday tasks, such as reading text and finding the area they need.

It lets people read and navigate computer content without relying on sight or a mouse.

The program takes information from the display and presents it in a form users can hear or read in Braille. As they move through computer content, its feedback helps them keep track of what is on screen. These two forms of output give users different ways to access the same information without needing to see the display.

Features:

• Reads displayed information aloud
• Presents on-screen text in Braille
• Enables navigation without a mouse
• Provides audio feedback while navigating
• Makes interface content accessible through Braille
• Offers spoken access to computer content
