Unless I mis-understood the sales representative, I was informed that there's no media sent that we have to download JAWS. But yes, with the packaged version of JAWS, it does come with nice training materials. You can download the FS Reader training materials though which cover different topics.

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 available (no, you won’t need to listen to all of it). You can either use FS Reader to play the material or your own DAISY player. You don’t have to switch between your program and FS Reader to pause, resume, rewind or fast-forward. Here’s a note from their FS Reader getting started guide: Using FSReader with Narrated Audio and Training Materials With FSReader you have the ability to play, pause, skip ahead, or skip backwards through narrated audio DAISY materials without actually having to be in the FSReader user interface. This is GREAT for training purposes. What this means is that you can be listening to a DAISY book about training and open a practice document, for example, in Microsoft® Word or Internet Explorer, or any other application. You can stay in the practice document and still control FSReader audio with this feature! You no longer have to press ALT+TAB to move between the FSReader program and back again to your practice files. Just stay within the practice file, and use the following keystrokes to control the FSReader audio in the background (if audio is available in the DAISY book): Play or Pause Audio (toggle), CTRL+P Skip Ahead 5 seconds, CTRL+PERIOD Skip Back 5 seconds, CTRL+COMMA NOTE: Since CTRL+P is also normally used as a hot key within applications to access the print dialog box, when FSReader is running, this hot key will not open the print dialog box. Instead, if FSReader is open in the background, this hot key controls the audio play and pause feature. If you need to print a document while FSReader is running, use the application's regular menu commands to print. Normally, that means just press ALT+F to open the file menu of that program and then press P to open the print dialog box. Also, you can copy the training materials to your own DAISY player. They work well on the NLS player. Once downloaded, the training materials are located in the folder C:\Program Files\Freedom Scientific\Training. There’s only one DAISY book that doesn’t have audio and that wouldn’t work on the NLS player, but, everything else is there. Hope this helps.

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 machine? If so, where exactly can I find the manual, so that I can download it? Thanks.
