Hi Jeff, Someone posted a link to a free mp3 training textbook for windows 7 and JAWS, apologies to the person that posted it, but the link is: http://www.blindtraining.com/free/Windows7.html training is basic but will give you a good feel for Windoes 7 with JAWS. Cheers. John. _____ From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of jeff flint Sent: 30 October 2011 21:35 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: Windows 7 and Jaws sorry carol, \I didn't explain myself clearly, I use Jaws with XP it is the windows 7 learning curve which worries me.

In other words, you don't have to learn all, just what you need for your tasks. I think any screen reader is a fair learning curve if you're going to get the best out of it and not just make it around the screen, if you know what I mean. Why don't you try the Jaws demo which I think is for 60 days? (Someone will correct me if this is not the case.) This should give you a good feeling about Jaws and what's involved in the learning curve.
