Freedom Scientific Releases JAWS 15

Touch Screen Support for Windows 8 and 8.1; Also includes New Vocalizer
Expressive Synthesizer

(St. Petersburg, Florida - October 28, 2013) - Freedom Scientific today
announced the release of version 15 of JAWSR for Windows, the world's
premier screen reading software. This release includes support for Windows
8
Professional on both Tablets and Touch Screen computers. JAWS 15 has been
designed to give blind users control when working with traditional desktop
applications like Office 2013 along with the new Windows 8 Start Screen
and
the Modern apps such as News, Weather, Email, and Internet Explorer 10.

With the addition of the JAWS Touch Cursor, users can easily explore the
screen by moving a finger around to learn the layout, hearing the items as
they pass over them. By using gestures similar to those used on
smartphones
today, JAWS users can also navigate by object on touch screen devices
such
as the Microsoft Surface Pro.

"This release offers significant breakthroughs in accessibility for
screen
reader users," said Eric Damery, Vice President of Software Product
Management for Freedom Scientific. "Along with the Touch Screen support of
Windows 8, we've included Vocalizer Expressive in dozens of languages at
no
additional cost, offering a new level in human-sounding, responsive
synthesized speech. These advances, in addition to all the other features
and enhancements

technology products like JAWS 15 embracing these new innovations and
