Learning Jaws

When I start to learn Jaws, I do not want to keep switching back and forth between my application and an online manual. Can I get the manual on cd and play it on a cd player? Or, can I download the manual to a talking book cartridge or flash drive and play it on my talking book

RE: Learning Jaws

Hi Ted: There’s good news on this one. JAWS supplies most of its training materials in DAISY format. They can be downloaded through the FS Reader program which comes with JAWS.The training materials are also supplied on the JAWS DVD.There’s over 11 hours of basic training material

Hi. Here's how to change the JAWS key to the CAPS LOCK key. Hit INSERT+J. In your setup the INSERT key is the JAWS key. Go to the options menu. If you have JAWS running in the system tray, you'll land on this menu choice. This is how I run JAWS. I'm not sure what JAWS looks like if not
