Hi Jim, I basically taught myself. Someone came out and installed it for me, although, I could have done that myself. He went over a few short cuts from the manual with me and the rest I learned from exploring the menus and reading the help manual, and listening to the audio CD that came with my next jaws upgrade. I've had friends who have had people that were paid to come and teach them jaws but the one complaint I keep hearing over and over is that these people just keep going over the basics and they don't really get a whole lot out of the experience.
