Jaws for Windows
Hi all OK, so now my possible future career in the educational IT field requires me to have a working knowledge of Jaws. Arrangements ares being made for me to have a working copy of Jaws. Anybody got any tips as to where to start on the learning curve? Jaws goes a little bit against the grain with me, but the fact is it is still the market leader in education. establishments. Anyway, any starter tips appreciated.

RE: Jaws for Windows
When you install JAWS, there are DAISY training topics you can install with it. I would choose the ones you want and go from there.

Yah, what Chris says. smile. If I had just read that, i would not have wasted the cybarspace with the last couple emails. Duh! Mary Quoting Chris Moore moor...@blueyonder.co.uk: Gordon, JAWS comes with some very good tutorials in daisy format which you can access from the Help menu.

Re: Jaws for Windows
That's an interesting suggestion. Anybody know what it costs and where to get started? It would certainly be a help to me because I'm likely going to be working towards a base level teaching qualification in the coming months.

Re: Jaws for Windows
Hi Mike Sorry I'm a bit confused here. Yes, naturally I plan to review the basic documentation. I take it that's what you're suggesting? To tell you the honest truth it goes against the grain for me to start reading manuals, but on this occasion I may have no option. Jaws is a strange beast to me, but it's one I have to master, like it or not. Actually though I do have another question. I thought that Freedom had moved away fro the use of dongles. But my assistant is telling me that they are going to arrange to get me a dongle to license Jaws. Is that still used as a method of copy protection? I thought it was now all Internet activation?

Hi Chris Thanks very much for this. I think both options will be useful.

Re: Jaws for Windows
Hi Mary I'm open to all options at the moment but I think I'll be bugging you a bit off list in the coming days and weeks, I hope you don't mind! :) Seriously, I always find your advice and help very beneficial so I will take you up on that offer when the time is right. I also plan to go and download the licensed version if it's available online. I tried installing the demo on my notebook but found the restrictions pretty horrific. So I removed it and yesterday got the very pleasant surprise that my support assistant is going to arrange for me to get a licensed copy of JFW. They really are keen on employing me it seems.
