Freedom Scientific Releases JAWS® 10
Users Call JAWS Tandem™ a
“Breakthrough”
(
“The new AutoForms Mode makes it easier
than ever for new users to work with Internet Explorer, FireFox
3, and Acrobat Reader,” said Eric Damery, Vice
President of Software Product Management. "There is no question that JAWS
10 has taken working with HTML and PDF forms or Web-based applications,
especially the new Web 2.0 Accessible Rich Internet Applications (ARIA), to a
new level."
For more information, try the updated Surf's Up training aid which now includes all the
details on AutoForms Mode.
“JAWS Tandem provides an accessible remote assistance option for
anyone with access to the Internet - including dial up. Technical Support
staff, consultants, trainers, dealers, and knowledgeable friends now have a
simple and powerful tool to assist JAWS users from a distance. It literally
lets our Tech Support team make house calls," added Damery.
"Perhaps the most important part of this feature is that friends can now
help friends. Whether troubleshooting a problem on their friend’s computer,
teaching them something about JAWS, or even test-driving some new software with
JAWS on their friend’s machine before buying, it has already proven to be a
huge success."
For more information, take a look at the FAQs on JAWS Tandem.
The RealSpeak Solo Direct Synthesizer is
another new feature in JAWS 10. RealSpeak Solo is
much more responsive than the SAPI 5 option in JAWS 8 and 9. Customers will
also appreciate the 43 different voices in 19 languages and the convenient
on-line location where everyone can sample and download any of
the RealSpeak Direct voices for use with
JAWS and the upcoming MAGic 11 update. These new
voices are even available for use with demonstration licenses of JAWS.
To make learning JAWS even easier, free DAISY training material
for JAWS and MAGic is now offered via the Check for
Updates feature. JAWS 10 now includes 17 DAISY titles which can all be read
using the free software DAISY player (FSReader Demo)
installed with all versions of JAWS and MAGic. MP3
versions of all the DAISY training material are also available free of charge
on the Training Downloads Web pages.
