Hi Joseph,
Does Jaws have a pronounciation dictionary like Window-Eyes has and how do
you get to it?

Hi Joseph,
I did as you stated, but I could not download the files. Also, I could
not access anything from the links. The only file was the very first
one, getting started.

Hi:
I haven’t gotten that far, as far as migration.
However, even if you download JAWS, you get the 11 hours of basic
training. This is the same thing that ships on the DVD, and, may be more
current, in some cases.
Once you have JAWS up and running, Press Insert-J to open the JAWS window.
Under the help menu, you’ll find an option that says “Training”. Select
that option and FS reader opens to the table of contents for the Basic
Training. This appears like a Web page. Each “book” that talks about
various features of JAWS is a link you can press Enter on. For example,
when you tab to the link that says, “What is new in JAWS,” and press Enter
on it, FS reader will download the book if it is not present, then, put
you into the book. (if the book has to download, you will need to say Yes
to the “User Account Control” dialog, as the program needs permission to
install the training materials in the proper location.) At first, it will
seem like a Web page, which you can navigate in the usual way. However,
if you press Control-P, it will begin speaking.
Once you get the hang of it, it is a good way to get basic training.

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.

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 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.

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