Hi, the JAWS installation disc should have FS reader as well as some training material. If it didn't get installed for some reason, I think I would uninstall JAWS and start over with a complete reinstall. Although the training material on the installation may have updates available, it should still be applicable and help until you can figure out why you can't download any new updates. Steve

There seems to be a problem with this, howweer. I have it, but no shortcut to it on the desktop. I have the introduction to how to use it, which I just listened to. However, when I tried to download some of the training modules from the website, they wouldn't download. No reason given, just, unable to download.

Go to your Desktop. 2. Press the letter F to use First Letter Navigation and locate a link called "FS READER 2.0" 3. Press Enter to open the FS Reader program. 4. You will now be on a blank menu because nothing has yet been called up. 5. Press Control O to open Fs Reader's search module. 6. Shift Tab and your cursor should be on a list of built in training files. 7. Choose one of the files by lining up on it and pressing Enter. 8. You will now be able to read that the file has been prepared for reading. The name will be highlighted on your screen. 9. To start Fs Reader, press control P for Play or Pause. 10. To pause the reading, press Control P, again. Miriam, this will get you started. There are many other controls you can use to advance through the file, speed up or slow down the reading and so on. In answer to your earlier question, the files read by the Fs Reader in this manner are recordings of an actual voice. If you have loaded all of the training files when you installed Jaws, everything you need should be there in one of those files. I hope this helps.

And then, if I do an operation often enough, I memorize it. Otherwise, I look back at my notes. So I'm wondering where, on the FS website, I can find something to download or copy which describes Jaws 13 and also, how to use Read It. I see that there's material in daisy format, but then I have to find and download the FS Reader. If I do that, does it make it easy to read the material? Aren't there word documents that provide the same information? Hearing the material in a podcast doesn't seem to work. It's just too fast for me. I can't absorb it quickly enough. I'd appreciate any suggestions.
