Downloads can land in some daft places sometimes.

It is free, and many of the keystrokes are similar to JAWS. I use it as my main screen reader, and am very happy with it.

You can make it look similar to Windows 7, but the best experience with it would need to be the latest JAWS release. But, as someone else stated, make sure you don't end up with Windows 8 Pro or whatever they call it these days if you only have JAWS Standard. If you have JAWS Pro, then it doesn't matter what version of Windows 8 you get. Alternatively, download NVDA and save yourself a bit of dosh!

I was told that i can make it work like windows7 is this right? can you give me a better description of the sort of problems please.-----Original Message----- From: Bernard Georgiou Sent: Sunday, October 06, 2013 12:46 PM To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: windows 8 with Jaws Hi, I have just also done this upgrade, and I can tell you that although JAWS does work with Windows 8, the Windows 8 itself is not easy to deal with. I use JAWS 14 but it doesn't cope that well with Windows 8. Windows 8 is quite a steep learning curve and radically different, you will need to take all this into consideration before buying.
