Jaws for Windows Training
Jaws for Windows is produced by Freedom Scientific and is probably the best screen-reading software for Windows-based computers. If you don't have the budget to purchase Jaws, then you can still use Jaws in 40 minute mode (you will have to reboot your PC every 40 minutes) so, it is always extremely worthwhile to know how to get the best out of JAWS.
Before deciding to use Jaws or any other expensive application, consider a free screen-reader.
Since JAWS is packed with so many features, as well as tools to help you customise it to work with a huge range of applications, there is so much to learn. Freedom Scientific provides excellent audio training resources available with the JAWS installation disc and by download from their JAWS Training page. These JAWS Training modules assume knowledge of the Windows operating system and computer concepts generally but some modules relating to some of these topics are also available. However, for anyone who is not already an advanced computer user, personal training remains the quickest way to get you up and running with JAWS or to get the most out of the applications you use.
Personalised Training
Since the type of training you need will depend on your knowledge of Windows, the applications you intend to use and your previous experience with JAWS, the training provided by VICT Consultancy will be tailored to match your needs so that you do not waste time learning about functions that you will probably never use. Whether you are a complete computer novice or an intermediate JAWS user, we can provide a training package to suit you. See our training methods on our Training services page.
