We are happy to announce that the JAWS screen reader also supports Hindi and Marathi languages. Now you can have JAWS speak with a clear Hindi voice just like a young Indian lady newsreader on TV!
A revolutionary development and a milestone in the promotion of Assistive Technology for the benefit of the visually challenged people of India!
Now more than 50% of the blind persons in India living in 9 States of the country who primarily speak, study, read / write, communicate and even correspond in Hindi language will be able to learn as well as operate computers in Hindi.
This new development will not only assist in inculcating computer literacy among the blind children in the rural areas but also support the visually challenged working in the State/ Central Ministries, Government Departments, Public Sector Units and banks especially those working as Hindi stenographers and those in LDC or UDC positions.
This will empower the visually impaired to work with and read Hindi documents in MS Windows and MS Office. In addition, it will enable them to read and type in Hindi, surf the Internet, download or read web pages such as BBC News in Hindi, Dainik Jagaran, Rajasthan Patrika, etc. and send and receive Emails in Hindi all on their own!
The Hindi supported version of JAWS is only available through Karishma Enterprises so please contact us for any queries you may have on Hindi supported Jaws including any of the following:
