Happy Hallow's Eve, here's our next installment of a bug-riddled piece of
access software. Once you've kicked the tires on it for a few months, and
users tell us what's not working we'll actually fix some of the holes we
left in it. LOL

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.
