[BlindTlk] Jaws

[Humberto Avila]

Hello All:
My understanding is that there are at least two version of the paid JAWS screen reader. One is the Professional version which still costs $1000+ and the other one which is the subscription based, is called the home use edition. That is the $90 per month, or you can do several subscriptions, like yearly. It depends on how you will use it.

As of Monday you can get a laptop regardless of age for their low price of like $180 with all the software you might need and a choice of draws, Zoom text or fusion which is a combination of both. I just found this out yesterday. How many people have been satisfied with your products from Computers For The Blind?
