Where can I download JAWS?

The latest version of JAWS screen reader can be downloaded using Check for Updates from the JAWS Help menu. For new installations, download and save the executable file to your local PC and install from there. Make sure to download the correct version (64-bit or 32-bit) for your computer, which we have detected is a 32-bit computer. Instructions to verify whether you have a 64-bit or 32-bit computer can be found at the bottom of this page.
