The Basic Training for JAWS is produced using the DAISY (Digital Accessible Information System) format. Each book offers both text and audio and can be downloaded and read using Freedom Scientific's FSReader DAISY reader software that is automatically installed with JAWS.
For JAWS 2020, the nine books that comprise the Basic Training were updated and restructured to make them more concise and task oriented. The goal was to keep things simple, easy to follow, and generic so the training applies to more people in more situations.
Learn how to read DAISY content with FSReader. Please allow [06:58] to watch the following instructional demonstration before continuing to the next topic.
We also offer an FSReader Vocabulary Reference, which is especially useful for teachers. Using FSReader and the Basic Training is a great way for instructors, even those with no JAWS experience, to work with their students learning JAWS.
