JAWS for Windows
JAWS (an acronym for Job Access With Speech) is a screen reader, a software program for visually impaired users, produced by the Blind and Low Vision Group at Freedom Scientific. Its purpose is to make personal computers using Microsoft Windows accessible to blind and visually impaired users. It accomplishes this by providing the user with audible access to the information displayed on the screen via text-to-speech speech synthesizer and/or by means of a Braille display and allows for comprehensive keyboard interaction with the computer.
It also allows users to create custom scripts using the JAWS Scripting Language, which can alter the amount and type of information which is presented by applications, and ultimately makes programs that were not designed for accessibility (such as programs that do not use standard Windows controls) usable through JAWS.
*Professional JAWS custom scripting services are available through AbleTech*
Fusion for Windows
Fusion is the ultimate accessibility tool for individuals with any level of vision impairment. Fusion provides the best of both worlds – ZoomText, with its screen magnification and visual enhancements for screen viewing ease, coupled with the power and speed of JAWS for screen reading functionality.
By blending ZoomText and JAWS together, Fusion has flexible, high-quality speech using Eloquence and Vocalizer Expressive, powerful keyboard access including navigation on the web, and a wide range of customization options. And with a Fusion license, you can choose to run either just ZoomText or JAWS by themselves or combined as Fusion. Three products in one!
Fusion runs on all versions of the Windows® operating system.
