[NFBCS] JAWS and Todo Process

Thu Feb 4 12:37:37 UTC 2021

There is a new function, activated with insert-spacebar, followed by V, which allows you to adjust system or JAWS volume conveniently. That's what I would guess this is.

Subject: [NFBCS] JAWS and Todo Process

Hi,

Has anyone else noticed when using JAWS 2021 that there is a process called "todo" running along side FS apps? It shows up in the adjust system volume dialog is invoked from the Windows control panel and the file location in Task Manager reveals that it is located in the Freedom Scientific directory where exacutables are usually located.

Anyone know what this is all about? An internet search hasn't revealed anything.

I understand what "todo" usually means from a developer's standpoint but I do not understand what it means for the end-user in this instance.  Is it something left over from the beta release? If so then this may make a certain amount of sense.

Thanks,

Nathaniel
