JAWS for Windows, from Freedom Scientific, is screen reader software designed to navigate through a website and read the web content aloud. (For more information about JAWS, visit www.hj.com/fs_products/software_jaws.asp.) Visually impaired users often rely on this technology to visit websites.
In order to most effectively use the JAWS screen reader with an Adobe Flex application, users must download and install scripts. These scripts enable some of the accessibility features of Flex and allow users to utilize the standard JAWS keyboard shortcut to enter Forms mode on a larger set of user interface controls than would otherwise be possible. It is important to direct users with visual impairments to this page so that they will have the necessary scripts to use JAWS effectively.
Those viewing Flex 2.0 or Flex 3 applications with JAWS must have Adobe Flash Player 9 or later.
