Freedom Scientific Releases JAWS 18
Interoperability with Upcoming ZoomText 11, Vocalizer Expressive 
2.2, Migration Feature, and Talking Mouse
(St.  Petersburg, Florida - October 31, 2016) - Freedom 
Scientific today announced the release of version 18 of JAWS® 
for Windows, the world's premier screen reading software.  
Significant new features include:

- Greatly improved interoperability with the upcoming release of 
ZoomText 11
- Support for Nuance’s Vocalizer Expressive 2.2 synthesizer, 
adding voices and new language support in Croatia and India
- Migration feature to assist users moving settings from version 
to version and computer to computer
- Talking Mouse, to help especially when using JAWS with either 
ZoomText 11 or MAGic 13.1 and above

With the recent addition of AiSquared to the VFO family several 
months ago, a priority for JAWS 18 and the new ZoomText 11 
release was interoperability between the two products.

“Helping our customers who install and use both products at the 
same time is a priority now, as we strive to make sure the users 
of ZoomText can now experience the same benefit our MAGic 
customers have experienced for years when running alongside JAWS.  
Synchronized visual tracking on the web as JAWS navigation and 
reading is happening is a real plus” says Eric Damery, Vice 
President of Software Product Management.  “Add the new migration 
tool, and JAWS users will find the instant access to their JAWS 
17 settings, after installing JAWS 18, making this one of the 
smoothest annual upgrades yet.”

The JAWS 18 upgrade is a Software Maintenance Agreement (SMA) 
release and can be downloaded as either a 32- or 64-bit version 
from the JAWS downloads web page.  English, German, French, 
Spanish, Dutch, and French Canadian have all posted 
simultaneously and DVD shipments to SMA holders and new product 
customers will commence within a week.
