[Blindtlk] Learning Jaws

[Daniel Garcia]

You ask how we learn JAWS. In my case I learned it at the Training Center
for the Blind in my state.

You can download the Demo Version and install the DAISY Training Modules in
your computer. You can listen to these modules either in FS Reader or you
can copy them into a USB stick and play them on an NLS device if you have
one. FS Reader is installed with JAWS; it is a program with which you can
listen to the training modules on your PC.

I have never used Window Eyes so I don't know if the commands are similar to
JAWS and how much of a learning curbe you'll have. But my guess is that once
you learn one screen reader it is easy to learn another one, in the same way
that once you learn a language it is easy to learn another. For instance, it
was quite easy for me to learn NVDA on my own at home after having used JAWS
for a few months and also being frustrated with the demo version.

Dear NFB Talk members,


    How did all of you learn jaws screen reader? I ask this cause apparently
to obtain federal employment that you have to learn this crutial screen
reader application to be able to work with them. I currently use window-eyes
from GW-Micro and unfortunately Rehab as it was then in 2002-2005 that they
didn't inform me about this risk.
Anyways, I don't have the patients of the fourty minute demo and Vocational
Rehabilitation isn't suseptable to the idea of buying me it so am at a
crossroads on this issue. I'll continue pressing on Jaws to be purchased
just don't know how best to learn it either freedomscientific.com tutorials
or a planned study somewhere like the Lousiana school for eight months that
is a long time or what. Thanks on your opinions on what to consider cause I
really badly want employment.


your fellow liberal,
Peter
