A minor difference to anyone to whom it really
doesn't matter.
they are similar enough that packages can be
designed to work on either OS.

Jaws Hi, NO, macOS is not based on Linux – it is based on a combination of Free BSD (Berkeley Software Distribution), a specific form of Unix, along with some other components. Cheers, Joseph

Hi Jeff, Jaws only works on the Microsoft operating systems. Linux is more akin to the Mac OS, or I should say, Apple's OS is based on Linux. Linux has a screenreader called Orca, and it comes with many distros of Linux. Many of the keyboard commands in Linux are the same as in windows, just because they are common, like alt tab and alt F4 for example, and in Linux, you don't have to deal with ribbons, it still uses regular menus. In Linux you can install the TTS called Voxin, which is what Jaws users know as Eloquence. That costs like 5 or 10 dollars from the Orlux site.

Hello List, I was wondering if anyone on here uses Linux with Jaws. What version of Jaws are you using? How successful is it. Where can I learn more about it? Do I need any other software to make it work? Thanks, Jeff Lukacsena
