Download Jaws Demo
Sasha Stolt
The demo version (which runs for 40 minutes per session) can be a valuable tool for web developers to not only ensure their content is accessible, but also compatible with this, the most popular of screen readers. The ability for every day web developers to test actual accessibility of their web content is not only important, but has greatly increased the accessibility of web content for blind users.
Screen readers are very complicated pieces of software. As such, it is mostly understandable that they are so expensive ($895 for the standard version of JAWS). For many developers, the limitations of the demo would facilitate purchasing a license. And certainly the fact that the demo version of JAWS has been used for accessibility evaluation (obviously despite the licensing terms) has resulted in a great number of JAWS purchases.
I checked the EULA for Window-Eyes and then called them to confirm that you are allowed to use their demo in 30 minute mode for as long as you like for any purpose you like. Obviously, if you use it alot they would like you to purchase it but they in now way require it. That is one of the differences in phoilosopy between the two companies I have liked about GW Micro.
The problem with testing in just one version of just one screen reader (either a cut-price JAWS or the Window-Eyes demo) is that features and bugs can vary considerably from version to version and product to product. On an corporate intranet, you can make some assumptions about what assistive technology people are likely to be given by the company. On the public web, you can make no such assumptions: the variety of screen readers, browsers, and configurations is innumerable.
Paying to use Connect OutLoud to simulate JAWS is the worst of all possible options, since its feature set (in terms of web browsing) is very different and a certainly a poorer approximation of the JAWS experience than using the Window-Eyes demo.

Place this file in the user-specific settings area of jaws.Download Temporary Authorization File HereDownloadTo obtain The actual scripts for Sound Forge pro, and AudioStudio 15, click here:Be sure to read the Optimizations section below.Save and run this installer:Sound Forge pro and AudioStudio 15 Jaws Scripts, version 1OptimizationsVersion 1 includes a new flag in the forge150.ini file which indicates which sound forge key actually performs the pause function. Magix actually changed that from enter, to control+f12, and they might change it back. So, if your version of sound forge does not have that change, you would want to set that flag to 0. It is 1 by default upon installation, since that is what Majix is shipping at the time of this writing.The folloinw adjustments are recommended, for Audio Studio as well as Sound forge Pro.When you open Sound Forge 15 for the first time, an interactive tutorial will be presented, and this is largely inaccessible.You can recognize this condition from the fact that none of the menus will activate.You can view portions of the tutorial with the touch cursor. But, to dismiss it entirely,just press alt+f4, and focus should land back in the usual MDI window.To prevent that from coming up each time your start the program, go to the help menu, and open the interactive tutorial item.There, you will find a checkbox to uncheck, which will disable that startup feature.in the view menu, toolBars, uncheck all the toolBars, and amek sure Show ToolTips is checked.In the options menu, general tab, it is usually best to uncheck the item about using net notify to stay informed about updates, as this often puts up a notice that barges into your usual work flowand causes problems.Those items in the general tab may be double speaking for now. That will be improved in time.the following are also recommended:
- Options menu, Time Display submenu, Passive updates, must be checked.
- Options menu, video submenu, Passive Updates, must also be checked
- Options menu, Data Window, uncheck all items except status. You can only uncheck one item at a time, and thus have to open that dialog once for each item.
- Once the data window options are set, be sure to set that configuration as the default, so it will apply to new sound windows. You can do that in the dialog itself.
- Windows10=0 - set this to 1 if you wish to use jaws 16 or earlier in windows 10.
- RecordStatus - The beeper that indicates recording is in progress seems to cause performance problems in windows 10. AS of version 4, this is set to 0 by default. Set it to 1 if you want to hear the little beep when recording starts.
Tap the alt key, and check both the document and system menus, to make sure the windows are maximized. Initial SetupInstalling Sound Forge can be a little tricky, as the Magix installers are implemented using a framework that is less screen reader friendly. In particular, the JAWS cursor can often not see any sensible text. But, do remember, that the JAWS touch cursor is your friend, and will let you look at more objects than you would see simply using the tab key.To activate the touch cursor, press shift+the PCCursor key. Then you can use left and right arrow to explore the objects. To return to normal mode, double tap the PC cursor key.The primary thing you need to do, once getting Sound Forge 15 installed, is setup the sound system.To do that, go to the options menu, and up arrow to Preferences, and press enter.This is a multiTab dialog, so go to the audio tab.Pick a sound system, which may take a little trial and error on your part to see which works best for you.If your playback works, but is sluggish, then choosing a different sound system may help.The choices offered there will depend on the sound card you want to use.Once that is selected, there are two subTabs, one for input and one for output. use the arro keys to select the one you want to work on first, and then press tab to go to the list of channels.In this list, up and down arrow will move through the channels. A stereo file, for example, would have two channels, so channels 1 and 2 are the left and right respectively.Each line contains the channel number, and the sound card output that will go to. Take the jaws cursor to that line, and left click on the sound card name for that channel. That will bring up a context menu that lets you alter that selection. Use the up and down arrow to choose the desired output, and Press enter when finished.Record OptionsYou can also taylor the way Sound Forge records, via the Record Options dialog, which you can activate via the view menu.This seems to look identical to previous versions.It is necessary to use the jaws cursor in this dialog, to explore, and to click on things you want to change.Once you left click on the field you want to change, and be sure to click on the value part of the field, rather than just the name of the field, activate the pc cursor, and use up and down arrow to set the value, and enter to finalize your change.Nost things will work fine at their defaults.Confirming InstallationOnce all files are installed, focus in sound forge 15, and press insert+q. Jaws should say: "Scripts version 15.0.x, for Sound Forge 15".If it says that Default Settings are loaded, then the files have not been copied, and the installation was not complete. IF that happens, contact the Snowman.Once installed and reporting the correct version, you can Use insert+h to learn about the various hot keys.Check out the Articles section below to learn about the various editing modes.ArticlesThese articles were written for SF11, but are presently believe to apply equally to later versions, and discuss various aspects of operating Sound Forge.Skimming Audio and Selection methodsMultiTrack Overdubbing
