Hi Laura,
No, Jaws is for windows.
however Linux distributions come with EMACS
here is the description:
Emacspeak Inc (NASDOG: ESPK) announces immediate world-wide availability
of Emacspeak 17.0 --a powerful audio desktop for leveraging today's
evolving semantic WWW.
Emacspeak is a speech interface that allows visually impaired users to
interact independently and efficiently with the computer. Audio
formatting --a technique pioneered by AsTeR
<http://www.cs.cornell.edu/home/raman/aster/aster-toplevel.html>-- and
full support for W3C's Aural CSS (ACSS)
<http://www.w3.org/Press/1998/CSS2-REC> allows Emacspeak to produce rich
aural presentations of electronic information. By seamlessly blending
all aspects of the Internet such as Web-surfing and messaging, Emacspeak
speech-enables local and remote information via a consistent and
well-integrated user interface. Available free of cost on the Internet,
Emacspeak has dramatically changed how the author and hundreds of blind
and visually impaired users around the world interact with the personal
computer and the Internet. A rich suite of task-oriented tools
