JAWS Connect is your key to unlocking screen reader user accessibility barriers
JAWS Connect is a collaboration between Vispero’s TPGi and Freedom Scientific brands (the maker of JAWS for Windows) that bridges the gap between the largest community of assistive technology users in the world and the organizations that serve them, placing usability at the center of digital accessibility.
Our simple no-code solution for websites and applications gives JAWS screen reader users the ability to easily and quickly provide direct feedback at the point where they face barriers so organizations can quickly identify and react to solve those challenges.
All organizations—from boutique to enterprise—will benefit

“Accessible” does not always mean “usable”
Just because your digital content conforms to web accessibility standards does not always mean it’s fully usable by people with disabilities. The only way to test this is through real usability studies, which may not be feasible for every organization.
JAWS Connect fills this gap with an easy, effective way to ensure that you are doing your best to deliver an accessible experience for all users.
