I haven't looked into it myself, but I saw the following on another list:

For those of you who don't already know, JAWS 10 Beta test version is 
set for release next week.  Jonathan Mosen demonstrates its new features 
in the latest FS podcast.  Check it out:

I also went to the FS home page, and I saw that there a What's New in 
JAWS 10 page with details on the public beta and a list of changes and 
features in JAWS 10. The direct URL is:
