Freedom Scientific Releases JAWSR 11
Users Praise the Benefits of "Research It" Feature
(St. Petersburg, Florida, October 19, 2009) - Freedom
Scientific today
announced the English release of JAWS version 11, the
world's leading screen
reader
for visually impaired computer users. This new release
includes features
that will expand educational and employment opportunities
for users at all
levels.
These new features include Research It, Word Index, a free
software DAISY
player, and enhancements specifically for Windows 7,
including UI Automation
support and improved ARIA support.
The new Research It feature lets users quickly access
information for any
application and immediately return to what they were doing.
Use just a few
keystrokes
to look up information such as word definitions, Wikipedia
results, weather
conditions, news stories, or even sports scores. When you
have finished
reviewing
the information, simply press ESCAPE to return to your
current task. An
Internet connection is all that is required to use Research
It with JAWS 11.
There
is also a very comprehensive Research It Developer's Guide
that shows how
individuals or organizations can modify Research It to
create their own
lookups
on the Web or even within their own network for improved
on-the-job
efficiency.
For more information, listen to the September FSCast, where
this feature and
others are demonstrated and discussed in detail.
Beginning with PAC MateT Omni earlier this year and now with
JAWS 11,
Freedom Scientific is pleased to include a free FSReader
software DAISY
player for
all of our customers. "There is no question that DAISY books
are becoming
more and more a part of our everyday lives," said Eric
Damery, Vice
President
of Software Product Management, "and having a free reader
installed along
with our screen reader and MAGicR screen magnification
products is a real
benefit.
We have also updated all the free Basic Training DAISY
books, and they are
all now shipping right on the DVD.
Hear All the New JAWS 11 Features Demonstrated in FSCast
Listen to Eric Damery, Product Manager for JAWS, and
Jonathan Mosen, Vice
President of Blindness Hardware Product Management, discuss
the latest JAWS
11
enhancements in both the August 2009 FSCast and the
September 2009 FSCast.
The August FSCast covers all the new features, and the
September FSCast
discusses
more changes to Research It and includes an interview with
Glen Gordon, the
Chief Technology Officer. For more information about JAWS
11, see the What's
New page.
