[gui-talk] Fwd: JAWS 10.0.1151 update released!

Tue May 19 19:44:55 UTC 2009

I am not having trouble because of the screen reader I use. Please just 
forget it. I'm not opening any more messages with this subject line. It's an 
energy drain for me now. Thank you for understanding.
. Thank you.

I didn't have trouble finding the fixes, but, like Steve I use window
Eyes primarily.

Steve,

Where on earth did you find this list of fixes specific to this update?
As I said, the page on the FS site that provides info on updates to
Version 10 lumps together all modifications made to the version since
its initial Beta release. But I take it these are just to do with the
brand new changes.
Personally, the only ones that I recognize as being of interest to me
are something about what Jaws reads as you select something, I forget
exactly in what environment but it sounds like a helpful little change,
plus that bit about saying "edit" when you tab into the message area of
an OE 6 email you're composing. I just kind of got used to it saying
nothing lately as if it's just one Jaws eccentricity among many.

Anyway, thanks very much. It doesn't matter that you don't use Jaws,
yourself. This is just information, don't you think? Thanks again.
Joel

Hi Joel,

The enhancements in this JAWS update are listed below.  I hope this
helps.  I'm not able to answer any other questions about this update as
I use Window-Eyes and don't have JAWS installed on my computer.  -Steve.

Resolved an issue in Internet Explorer 8 where the JAWS Scripts that
control reading and navigating the address bar with
INSERT+A and INSERT+A
 twice quickly had stopped working. These commands are very useful when
you want URL information without moving your Virtual Cursor from your
reading position on the Web page. These scripts continue to work
correctly in Internet Explorer
7 and
Internet Explorer 6.
JAWS correctly reads and speaks the column and field titles in Access
2007 database tables. For example, when you press
INSERT+TAB
 while focus is in an Access table cell (field), JAWS will now announce
all field information such as the column name, the field contents, and
any other associated tutor message. Previously, the column name
information was not mentioned, or it was necessary to press
ALT+TAB
 to leave and then return to the application in order to hear the
complete field information.
When you use the UP ARROW or DOWN ARROW
 to navigate by line in the Virtual Viewer while in Access 2007, JAWS
now speaks each line. Previously, JAWS would only speak the line of text
when you pressed
INSERT+UP ARROW
 to read the current line.
The 64-bit version of JAWS 10 now correctly tracks focus when running
Microsoft Windows 7.
When you select text using SHIFT+LEFT ARROW or SHIFT+RIGHT ARROW , such
as in the File name edit field of the Open dialog box, JAWS now
announces each character as it is selected. Previously, JAWS would just
say the word "Selected"
without announcing the character.
When composing a new e-mail message using Outlook Express 6, JAWS will
now announce the words "Edit, type in text" when you move into the
message body using TAB or CTRL+GRAVE . Previously, JAWS would say "Edit,
read only."
When talking in a Freedom Scientific Webinar training session, you can
use the ALT+L  command to lock and unlock the Talk key. This command now
functions correctly with the Webinar conference software plug-in that
you must install the first time you attend a training session.
Resolved several HTML issues when using JAWS with Libera System 7
FrameworkT solutions software.
