While one types information, JAWS reads back everything making it easy to correct work. JAWS also reads CD Rom, internet, and electric disk. Using JAWS one can edit, save, and print work. In order to operate JAWS one must know how to type. JAWS is software that is available through Freedom Scientific.
Price varies depending on what version is purchased.
JAWS is mostly used by people with visual loss, but people with other disabilities can benefit from it, for instance, someone with dyslexia. JAWS opened up the world of computers to the visually disabled. The reasons I like to use JAWS are because it allows me to know exactly what I'm typing, I can go online, read books, etc. I can also use it with some of my other equipment. I can hook it up to my Braille n' Speak and print something out.
