Downloading Jaws 13 Demo

2012-08-03 Thread Gordon Smith
Hi all Is anybody else able to check the Freedom Scientific website for me please? The Jaws demo links just don't seem to work. I need the 64-bit demo yesterday because the countdown is on, I only have this dongle for 3 weeks and in that time I need to become fully proficient with Jaws.

I imagine that they have been trying to find somebody with your area of expertise and have been failing to do so. Of course attitude and initiative are like gold, but they also have a need to fill and you may, to use an American saying, be the man. Sorry I don't have anything else

Hi Martin Krystal Nothing is yet confirmed, the admin people are taking advantage of the summer holidays. :) I have the Jaws dongle but I'm having problems getting hold of the demo file. Thanks for the positive comments from both. I'll update you as things change. Gordon On 3 Aug 2012, at

Gordon, The full version is the demo. When you fire up JAWS and it does not find a dongle or CD key, it asks you to activate JAWS. If you do not do that, then JAWS automatically runs in 40 minute demo mode. Chris On 3 Aug 2012, at 12:37, Gordon Smith gor...@mac-access.net wrote: Hi Chris

Hi Chris Right! That changes things greatly. I thought the demo was a separate download because they have links on their website to Trial Software. Sorry about that, dum of me! OK, I've downloaded the 64-bit version so I'll go and try it. Gordon On 3 Aug 2012, at 12:40, Chris Moore

Gordon, JAWS (and NVDA too for that matter) have the ability to scrape a page and look for content that is not usually accessible to the screen reader and then makes it become accessible. For example you have a application which has labelled buttons, and I mean a sighted person can see the

Hi Chris OK, I've discovered that if I use the FTP download link for Jaws using a PC, it reads very differently for one thing to how it does with VoiceOver. For a start, the downloads are labelled Demo which VoiceOver doesn't see. For seconds, the FTP downloads work, which they do not in

Hi Chris No matter what I tried under Safari 6 Mac OS X 10.8 the links wouldn't resolve. But no matter, I have the installer now. Interestingly though, when I plugged my dongle into the NoteBook running Windows 7, it couldn't install the device drivers. Gordon On 3 Aug 2012, at 17:41,

No JAWS for Mac. It can be run on a Windows partition or simply downloaded to a flash drive for installation on a Windows computer. - Original Message - From: josh gregory joshkar...@gmail.com To: Techno-Chat ... Technology Enthusiasm! techno-chat@techno-chat.net Sent: Friday, August
