[Trainer-talk] Fwd: [Nfbktad] Fwd: Freedom Scientific Announces JAWS Training Bundle

[David Goldfield]

Based on what I have read and the sample audio clip provided by FS, 
these recordings aren't the same ones found in the basic training 
modules but are a different set of modules.

>>>> Customers will also have the option to take tests on what they have

>>>> The JAWS Training Bundle is available for purchase immediately. For
