Getting Started

JAWS was created by Freedom Scientific, a corporation that manufactures assistive technology. JAWS is a screen reader that is used by visually impaired users to hear applications read aloud. JAWS may be used for Lotus Symphony, Microsoft Office Suite, MSN Messenger, Corel, WordPerfect, Adobe, Acrobat Reader, Internet Explorer, Firefox, and more.

JAWS offers a focus display keyboard that allows output to be displayed as braille, in addition to JAWS' read-aloud function.
