Hi Mike,
thanks for saying you will still provide the direct down load links for
the jaws updates.
I find it easier than doing it my self because when I do it myself I
always screw something up. sort of speak
[JAWS-Users] Steps For Getting Jaws Updates / Downloads From The Freedom
Scientific Website
Hi All,
Okay here we go. This is how I get the direct download links & downloads
from Freedom Scientific running XP Pro.
Note: Please read all the steps & information below the steps before
proceeding.
1. Go to:
http://www.freedomscientific.com/
2. Press your links list keystroke, Insert / Jaws Key + F7, press the
letter, D, until you land on, Downloads, & press, enter.
3. Press the links list keystroke again, press the letter, J, until you
land
on Jaws for Windows Screen-Reading software, & press enter.
4. Now, navigate by Headings by pressing the letter, H, until you land on,
Current English Release of JAWS.
5. Arrow down & you will find the FTP download links. Press enter on the
desired link & a download dialogue will come up & you'll be on the cancel
button. Tab to, save, press the spacebar, again tab to save & press the
spacebar or, when on the cancel button, you can press the keystroke, Alt +
S, 2 times & the download will start. The download will download to
wherever your default downloads are assigned to go.
Personal Note: I always use the HTTP download option instead so, if you
arrow down passed the FTP link you will find the following:
Note: If your corporate firewall prevents you from downloading files using
FTP (File Transfer Protocol), use the
HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) links.
So, when you're on the line that says:
Link, HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) links
Press enter & you'll go to another download page.
6. Arrow down to, Heading Level 3JAWS 15 Current English Downloads, & the
download links are right below this heading. Arrow to the desired link &
press enter & you will get the same download dialogue as in step #5. Follow
the same steps to save & download.
Information from the website of Freedom Scientific that is at the top of
the
download page. It's recommended that you read the below before proceeding
with the steps above:
JAWS 15 Downloads
Use the links on this page to download the latest version of JAWS that is
appropriate for your computer's operating system. For a list of new
features
available
in this version of JAWS, see
What's New in JAWS 15.
For a list of system requirements, see
JAWS System Requirements.
Read Me First
JAWS requires that you restart your computer during the installation
process. To avoid problems, always download the JAWS release to your
computer first
instead of running the executable from the Windows Download dialog box. The
following briefly describes how to download and install a JAWS release.
list of 3 items
1. Select the appropriate domestic or international JAWS download link that
appears on this page.
2. When the dialog box opens, choose Save and select a location where you
can easily find the downloaded executable file.
3. Run the executable and follow the talking installer.
list end
During JAWS installation, the OCR engine for Convenient OCR is
automatically
downloaded and installed. If you will be installing JAWS on a computer that
does not have Internet access and you wish to use the Convenient OCR
feature, you will also need to choose the link to download the OCR engine.
Place this
file in the same location as the executable before beginning the
installation.
For those that complained about me sending the direct download links to the
list, it's as easy to press the delete key as it is to press the enter key
to open / read the message! I will continue to send the direct download
links to the list because many more people find them convenient that those
of you that are appalled by them! LOL, hahaha hahaha hahaha, LOL
HTH
Take care.
