Free, on-demand, high-quality, accessible training resources from Freedom Scientific (JAWS, Fusion, ZoomText, and Focus Blue Braille displays)!
Freedom Scientific provides wonderful tools: screen reading software, screen magnification software, a combination of both, and refreshable Braille displays. But Freedom Scientific does not stop there: they have created an immense pool of free and accessible training tools for students and teachers.

Did you know that ZoomText users can harness the power of JAWS with Fusion—combining the best of screen reading and screen magnification software?
