JAWS for Kiosk
The Enterprise Standard for Accessible Self-service
JAWS® for Kiosk delivers accessible, speech-guided interactions—online or offline—through the only screen reader purpose-built for kiosks.
Combining tactile input, custom scripting, and enterprise support, it enables consistent, compliant experiences across any environment. Trusted by leading global brands to make self-service inclusive, reliable, and ADA-compliant.
Why Kiosk Accessibility Matters for compliance and customer experience
When customers can’t independently use your kiosks, the result isn’t just noncompliance—it’s lost trust, missed revenue, and reputational risk.
JAWS for Kiosk helps brands eliminate accessibility gaps before they appear—enabling independent transactions, measurable compliance, and consistent customer experiences at scale. Our custom scripting adapts to unique application designs, ensuring logical, speech-guided navigation.
Accessibility isn’t a mandate—it’s a business advantage.
