Indeed, with some web technologies, such as Flash, AJAX, and PDF, screen reader testing is about the ONLY mechanism available for true evaluation. With technology advancing, the ability for developers to use screen readers to evaluate web content is increasing. Such limitations are not apparent in demo versions of other screen readers, including Window Eyes. The licensing terms for JAWS hurt these developers’ ability to create accessible web content for blind users. And certainly the fact that the demo version of JAWS has been used for accessibility evaluation (obviously despite the licensing terms) has resulted in a great number of JAWS purchases.īut for other developers, particularly those that would perform only basic or occasional JAWS testing, the cost is not justifiable. For many developers, the limitations of the demo would facilitate purchasing a license. As such, it is mostly understandable that they are so expensive ($895 for the standard version of JAWS).
Screen readers are very complicated pieces of software.

In fact, you can’t even use the demo version of JAWS to determine how well the full version could be used for accessibility evaluation. In other words, you cannot use the demo version of JAWS for web evaluation. … these demonstration or evaluation licenses are not permitted for purposes of development and testing of JAWS scripts, applications, HTML coding, or other Web Based code.
JAWS PDF CREATOR KEYGEN TRIAL
We were recently apprised that the licensing agreement for the trial version of JAWS states: The ability for every day web developers to test actual accessibility of their web content is not only important, but has greatly increased the accessibility of web content for blind users. The demo version (which runs for 40 minutes per session) can be a valuable tool for web developers to not only ensure their content is accessible, but also compatible with this, the most popular of screen readers. Our recent, and quite popular, article on using JAWS to evaluate web content again makes this recommendation. For years, we have recommended to developers that they download the trial version of JAWS to perform basic evaluation of the accessibility of their web sites.
