freedom scientific - jaws 9.0.2152 (full, April 20, 2008)

Jaws for windows is a competitor to the window eyes screen reader and its manufactured and (supposedly) supported by freedom scientific. Its prize is ridiculously high, with a limited use of four lisences, each one per computer. With a tedious activation process and continuous updates, the program costs $995.00 (plus taxes and shipping and whatever else) for a windows xp home lisence and around $1500.00 (or something similar, plus taxing and whatever else) for a pro/vista lisence. additionally, for "extra" protection, a cd which lets you "authorize" your copy ships witht he original package. On top of this, if you haven't kept up with the upgrades, they will decide to charge you about $200.00 for the MSA. As a precaution no one should run updates with versions like these. Instructions This is the latest version of jaws as of current writing 4/20/2008 (Happy Stoner Day!) Install the demo file. copy the two files jfw.exe and hjook.dll to the C:Program FilesFreedom Scientificjaws9.0 folder replacing the two files that were there; then go back two levels up to the Freedom Scientific directory and delete the activator folder, usually at: C:Program FilesFreedom ScientificActivator Reboot the system Enjoy Note: If you use a screen reader, Use windows narrator or similar so as you can delete the original jfw.exe and jhook.dll files and replace them. Package updated and instructions fixed, original instructions below. ----- Original instructions ------ Hi all, special thanks go out to whoever programmed and made this available. We have been looking for something like this for quite a while, and now it is there. To support spreading it, there is a file called jaws 9.0.552 rus + crack + TTS Engines.rar on file sharing networks. Please continue providing the original file for the convenience of other people to download, or provide alternative methods of making it available. The original file is about 184 MB in size, and it contains many TTS voices for the Russian language, as well as the russian installation file for JAWS 9.0. I just stripped the crack from there to provide a better way of getting it to those with slow or limited internet access. Rumours go that a Service Pack of JAWS is soon to be released, so if anyone out there has programming knowledge, PLEASE consider using it to update this marvelous patch or program something similar to continue supporting the blind community. The installation procedure is that of patches already available on the net. Just replace the jfw.exe and jhook.dll files in the installation directory of JAWS 9.0.552 with those provided in this archive. The directory usually is: c:programm filesfreedom scientificjaws9.0, the programm files folder may have a different name under non-english versions of windows. The original text in Russian states that one should remove the activator1.1 folder, I suppose this is for convenience only, to not hear the activation dialogue every time JAWS is started. I tested it without deleting the directory, and it also works. The original text in Russian follows below. Enjoy! Èíñòðóêöèÿ ïî ïðèìåíåíèþ: 1. Óñòàíîâèòå JAWS óêàçàííîé â íàçâàíèè êðÿêà âåðñèè. 2. Âûãðóçèòå åãî. 3. Çàìåíèòå ôàéëû jfw.exe è jhook.dll èç ïàïêè ñ óñòàíîâëåííûì äæîçîì íà ôàéëû, ïîìåù¸ííûå â àðõèâå êðÿêà. 4. Óäàëèòå ñëåäóþùóþ ïàïêó: C:Program FilesFreedom ScientificActivator1.1 Ïðèÿòíîé ðàáîòû! THAtS RIGHT, PEOPLE SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO AFORD EXTRA WHEN THERE IS THE NEED FOR A SCREEN READER OR WHEN THOSE PEOPLE NEED TO ARE UNABLE TO USE A MONITOR AND ACCESS PRINTED MATERIALS JUST THE WAY OTHERS WOULD. THEY DID NOT PAY ANY EXTRA, AND NEITHER SHOULd WE. Please seed

1. when you copy the two files into the jaws 9.0 directory, the file jfw.exe, right click on that and go to the security tab and tick allow access.
2. there you go it should work.

Hi UltraleetJ, This is indeed a great software and the good work you've done there! I don't believe companies like Freedom Scientific should continue to rob the blind community by charging exorbitant prices for screen readers like Jaws for Windows which are indispensable: it's like punishing us for being unable to use the screen and the monitor using our eyes. Guys, keep up the good work: by the way, did you know that Freedom Scientific last December posted a malware application which pretended to be a crack for Jaws yet they thought they would promote their business? They made sure their application malware program would detect any uinlicensed copy of Jaws or their friends in Indian, GW Micro, and stop all speech on the user's computer. Shame to them because here at the Pirate Bay wouldn't take their bait like that. Anyway, it is high time that schools and institutions in developing countries get real power of their screen readers through this useful download and crack: they cannot afford the $1200+extra shipping costs charged by Freedom Scientific. And I am also glad to say that NVDA seems to be copying every keystroke of Jaws and its latest release even has all the eight voices that Jaws thought it had a monopoly over. Thanks!

hi ultra can you delete my comment which has my e-mail please

goe234 (2008-09-03)

hey guys
i'm a visually empaired guy and i'm truely grateful to all who help us and cracks and/or upload such useful expensive software.
i use jaws this version of jaws and i'm waiting for the crack to version 9.0.2169.
i also want to emphasize on two ignored pieces of software which are essential for visually empaired people
the first is aisquared zoomtext, version 9 is cracked but the updates are not(9.14) if anyone has that please share it.
the 2nd one is freedom scientific MAGIC 11 pro and it's really a great magnifier too please share it if you have it my friends
once again i'd like to stress the importance of what your doing here, really blind software is so unaffordable except for very rare exceptions, and supposedly if an avarage man had the money to buy the programme, after some month he will have to pay more for updates(essential updates) to fix some irritating bugs. i know i'm kind of talkative but i'm on fire from those companies

pitermach (2008-09-17)

hmmm, I wonder if there Wer any chanses of uploading full versions of the payed jaws scrips like JSay, JTunes, JVist, JDays, or the sound forge scripts. that is another importand thing we should care about, why pay for something that should work out of the box?

Joel_RS (2008-11-08)

What languages has this version? I need the menus in portuguese (Brazil or Portugal).
Many Thank's.

JAY_AR (2008-11-27)

blazer32 (2009-01-28)

Ultraleetj, would you happen to have a crack for Window-Eyes 7.0?

Pirumyan (2009-02-10)

polaris01 (2009-07-29)

So it's impossible to crack CakeTalking? Can you send me installer of CakeTalking? (version no matter)

leatherneck07 (2009-10-20)

Hello to all. Does anyone know if Jaws or any other readers support prograning softwares likeRSLogx 5 and 500? or Siemens 7? Any help would be great. I want to thank all that understand the need of help like this. thank you for making it possible to keep my sanity. :(

JAY_AR (2009-11-03)

Hi. JAWS 7.0 can change the serial nnumber. The only one I need is the valid CakeTalking serial number. Version 6 to 7. If you have that, please post it here immediately. I really need that.
