Subject: Which JAWS and Dragon to purchase for accessibility testing purposes?
No previous message | Next message →

Hello,



We have funds to purchase JAWS and Dragon naturally speaking to assist me in our basic accessibility testing. We see that there are several flavors of these systems and I'm not sure which ones we should purchase. Could you let me know if there is some substantial difference between these which could impact accessibility testing? Is there one you'd recommend for each software type below?





JAWS:

* JAWS Pro
* JAWS Home Edition
* JAWS and MAGic Timed License



Dragon:

* Dragon Home
* Dragon Premium
* Dragon Professional Individual
* Dragon Professional Group
* Dragon Anywhere


Thanks,
Vanessa

Hi Vanessa,

There is no difference between JAWS home and Pro. It is only the license type. Get JAWS home and you will be just fine.

Get Dragon premium as it will do what you want. Anything else is more for different types of businesses.

Actually, there are some differences between JAWS Home and JAWS Pro....
mostly in what O/S flavors they will run on and what other non-standard
features you want enabled.

Here are cases where I know you need a Pro license:

- If you are using an Enterprise version of Windows (or any machine
hooked up to an active directory domain),
- if you want to enable the "Remote Access" features (enabling it to
work with Cisco VMs),
- if you want to use the JAWS Network license server to serve licenses
as needed over a network (say to deploy JAWS on 1000s of student
workstations across an entire university).


If none of those are your case, then the Home should work, but you'd want
to ask your JAWS reseller or the Freedom Scientific sales staff to be sure.

Also worth noting that the JAWS home license agreement expressly prohibits commercial use, which would probably include accessibility testing.
