[nabs-l] question about JAWS 12 and AIM 7.5

[Beth]

Well, Katie, I have an AIM that doesn't read the incoming messages.  Try VO, and you'll get the same thing on an Ipod or Iphone.  Anyway, I have JAWS 10, and to answer your questions, I think it's just the way JAWS works.  I had scripts installed, but they just tell me who's online and who's offline.  Now, I have an AIM for Ipod, and it works, but very much the same way.  Voiceover is amazing!
