Freedom Scientific

Freedom Scientific, a Vispero brand, is the world's largest manufacturer of assistive technology products for individuals who are blind or have low vision. Founded in 2000 through the merger of Henter-Joyce (creator of the original JAWS screen reader), Blazie Engineering, and Arkenstone, Freedom Scientific has been at the forefront of accessibility technology for over two decades. The company is best known for JAWS (Job Access With Speech), the world's most popular screen reader for Windows, and also produces ZoomText and Fusion screen magnification software, OpenBook scanning and reading software, Focus braille displays, and the WYNN literacy software. Headquartered in Clearwater, Florida, Freedom Scientific serves blind and low-vision individuals, educational institutions, government agencies, and corporations worldwide, enabling users to access computers, smartphones, and the internet independently.
