Loy, thanks for the clarification. I wanted to clarify my previous post. A
few years ago, there was a webinar on the Freedom Scientific Web site that
showed you how to use JAWS with an iOS device, but they took that webinar
down. There is still a webinar on the site that shows you how to use the
Focus with an iOS device. If any of you want me to post the link to the
list, please let me know.

JAWS does not work with ISO devices, they use Voice Over. Most tablets are
Android so JAWS would not work with them. JAWS only works with Windows OS's.
I personally like IPhones, for me it is the best for me. I've tried Android
and did not like that OS.
