Diverse Learning Abilities and Challenge  
Screen Readers  

 Description

JAWS (Job Access With Speech) is the world's most popular screen reader, developed for computer users whose vision loss prevents them from seeing screen content or navigating with a mouse. It allows blind and vision-impaired people to read the screen either with a text-to-speech output or by a refreshable Braille display.


 Features
  • Two multi-lingual synthesizers: Eloquence and Vocalizer Expressive.
  • Convenient OCR feature provides access to the text of PDF documents, even those with scanned images that are reported as empty documents by screen readers.
  • Built-in free DAISY Player and full set of DAISY-formatted basic training books.
  • The only Windows screen reader to provide contracted Braille input from your Braille keyboard.
  • Works with Microsoft Office, Internet Explorer, Firefox.

 Limitations
  • It's pricey, and there's a steep learning curve to use the program effectively.
