Jaws

Freedom scientific's pjaws is a software program specially designed to help blind or visually impaired people with disabilities. A narration of everything that happens on the computer screen will be available to them. The program will automatically convert all content being displayed on the screen —whether it is the text of a full web page or a windows pop-up window— into sound or text for a braille terminal (an electronic device attached to the computer, developed for people who are blind or have low vision). You'll be able to choose the languages you want when installing jaws. It's always available as a default in english but you'll find dozens of additional languages that you can install with a single click. In order to use the program properly you must first restart your computer. It will only be after this first restart that you will be able to listen to all the actions you perform on your computer. Each click or keystroke you make by default will be dictated by a voice but you can customize this in the program settings. Among the programs with which jaws has been fully demonstrated is microsoft office google docs chrome edge firefox and brave. It means that you can read the screen of any browser such as chrome regardless of your vision problems. If you use a braille terminal you will be able to listen to all the web pages or read the content. Similarly, you can read or listen comfortably to any text document you have in office or docs. Then you can read the documents in pdf format. The ppjaws software requirements are not particularly demanding but they're also not low. You will need at least 8 gb of ram as well as recommended 2 gb of free hard disk space ssd and a 2 ghz i5 processor. Microsoft's operating system is also fully supported by the program. So any mid-range computer will have no problem running it correctly in short. You can download jaws free of charge to test how it works and if it is the perfect accessibility tool for you. Nevertheless this free version is only available in forty-minute sessions. Those who want to unlock the program need to purchase one of the multiple licenses available on the official website which have different prices ranging from 90 per year to 1285 for a full professional license although the program is completely free if you are affiliated.
