Windows 95, as the name implies, was released in 1995, to be precise and according to a Google search it was August 24, 1995.
Then came Windows 98 and 98SE:
Released in June 1998, Windows 98 built on

Re: Jaws Screen Reader cost?.
Yes, Jaws did work with Windows 3.1/3.11, but I don't think it was called Jaws for Windows until 95 came out, but it's very long ago so I could be wrong.
Windows 3.1/3.11 really were more like shells

Re: Jaws Screen Reader cost?.
Time sure does travel. I didn't know back then there are more options to choose from when it comes to assistive Technologies. I am a new user of Jaws and have been using the screen reader since 2016.

Re: Jaws Screen Reader cost?.

I have seen a JAWS to NVDA list of keyboard shortcuts on the web, not sure if it was put out by NVDA or someone else.

Re: Jaws Screen Reader cost?.
I try not to get caught up in the whole cost thing. I find too many people, are willing to spend $10 a day or $20 a week at Starbucks, but don't want to spend that money on jaws.
Get Outlook for iOS

Re: Jaws Screen Reader cost?.

If NVDA maintainers really cared about helping the Blind, then they would include a Jaws layout for those who want it.
This is not unheard of, Microsoft Word used to have a WordPerfect mode,

Re: Jaws Screen Reader cost?.
If you can't afford JAWS, you can still use it in 40 min mode. Or get NVDA, it is Free and is a great screen reader and there are tutorials to help you migrate from JAWS to NVDA.
