This program's details can be a little elusive. I already looked into it earlier and found out I couldn't take advantage of it.
Here's why: You have to work for an organization that uses JAWS in the workplace.

He called me and left me a message. Anyway he told me about a program that VFO already has in place for people who need low-cost jaws. He told me this is a special program and for some reason its not advertised on their website but he said he would make a note to at least get information about it posted up there. So here is what he said. For people who cannot afford jaws, you call in and through this jaws affordability program for $125 you get jaws home version with 0 smas. But if you pay $225 you get jaws home version with two smas. When I am done with Christmas and stuff I'm gunna take advantage of this for sure! I also suggested to hal about a program to activate jaws on a monthly basis, $225 comes down to $12 per month. He said he would make a note of that also. So yes folks low cost jaws does exist. get more info by calling: 1-800-444-4443 extension 1101 This news is very exciting! in a year or so my son will probably be doing more advances stuff with microsoft office and Jaws will probably be needed because it works good with that office suite. I am glad that low cost jaws really exists.
