It works in conjunction with **JAWS for Windows**, a popular screen reader. ([hartgen.org](https://hartgen.org/aboutleasey?utm_source=openai))\n- Its goal is to help users at all levels\u2014from complete beginners to seasoned power users\u2014by offering tools and adaptations for common computer tasks like email, web browsing, document editing, using social media, and multimedia. ([hartgen.org](https://hartgen.org/aboutleasey?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## Two Versions: Total vs. Advanced\n\nThere are two packages available, differing mainly in how beginner-friendly they are:\n\n| Version | Includes spoken menus, audio tutorials, human \u201chelp\u201d voice, menu-driven interface | Meant for beginners/new users |\n|---------|----------------------------------------------|-------------------------------|\n| **Leasey Total Package** | Yes, all those features are included. ([hartgenconsultancy.com](https://www.hartgenconsultancy.com/LeaseyHelp/Introduction.html?utm_source=openai)) |\n| **Leasey Advanced** | No menu-driven \u201cspoken\u201d menus or human voice help; more focused on users who already know their way around JAWS and similar tools. ([hartgenconsultancy.com](https://www.hartgenconsultancy.com/LeaseyHelp/Introduction.html?utm_source=openai)) |\n\n---\n\n## Key Features & Capabilities\n\nLeasey offers a wide range of tools and utilities to support productivity and daily activities.\n\n- **Core Tools** in both versions include:  \n\u2002\u2002\u2022 Word processing and document navigation ([hartgen.org](https://hartgen.org/aboutleasey?utm_source=openai))  \n\u2002\u2002\u2022 Email management and contacts via LeaseyConnect ([hartgen.org](https://www.hartgen.org/aboutleasey?utm_source=openai))  \n\u2002\u2002\u2022 Web browsing, news, weather, RSS feeds([hartgen.org](https://www.hartgen.org/aboutleasey?utm_source=openai))  \n\u2002\u2002\u2022 Media tools \u2014 music, radio, audio playback ([hartgen.org](https://hartgen.org/aboutleasey?utm_source=openai))  \n\u2002\u2002\u2022 Calendar (\u201cDiary\u201d), clock, alerts/timers ([hartgen.org](https://www.hartgen.org/aboutleasey?utm_source=openai))  \n\n- **Advanced/Enhanced Features** (especially for more experienced users):  \n\u2002\u2002\u2022 Tagging and file/folder organization via \u201cLeasey Tags\u201d ([hartgen.org](https://www.hartgen.org/aboutleasey?utm_source=openai))  \n\u2002\u2002\u2022 Quick-launch tools (\u201cLeaseyCuts\u201d) to access documents, folders, or webpages quickly ([hartgen.org](https://www.hartgen.org/leaseykeystrokes?utm_source=openai))  \n\u2002\u2002\u2022 Address book with integration for social apps (Skype, Twitter, etc.) ([hartgen.org](https://www.hartgen.org/aboutleasey?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## Pricing & License\n\n- Leasey is typically sold with a **90-day license** setup (for the Total Package), with the option to eventually own it outright if all periodic payments are made. ([hartgen.org](https://hartgen.org/lst1?utm_source=openai))  \n- There\u2019s also an upgrade plan: e.g., from version 4 to version 5; users pay for ongoing development and access to new data-based features, although users who recently purchased may get free upgrades. ([hartgen.org](https://hartgen.org/node/508?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## Why Use Leasey?\n\n- It\u2019s particularly helpful for those who are new to computers: spoken guidance, human voice, easy-to-use structured menu systems help ease onboarding. ([hartgenconsultancy.com](https://www.hartgenconsultancy.com/LeaseyHelp/Introduction.html?utm_source=openai))  \n- For experienced users, the tools and utilities speed up routine tasks, improve file and folder management, and offer powerful accessibility enhancements. ([hartgen.org](https://www.hartgen.org/aboutleasey?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\nIf you like, I can also pull up **how it compares** to other accessibility tools (such as NVDA or VoiceOver), or how to get started with it.
