Yep there is a web capture solution for the Mac though I can't remember
the name of the software.
As far as webvisum goes? Well I'm running the latest version of Firefox
and - to date - I've had no trouble with the add-on.
I'm not questioning Freedom Scientific's intentions, makes sense to have
this sort of feature in a Screen Reading package but what I am
questioning is the cost to people for this feature, its going to cost
JAWS users a few hundred to upgrade just for this, its going to cost
people a great deal of money if they want to use this feature who don't
own JAWS so that's why I spoke of alternative such as webvisum.

Are you talking about products for the Mac platform? If so I would be very
interested to know what these are. The main solution I know about is the Web
Visum plugin for Windows Firefox [ not sure about the spelling[ but the
problem here is that as I understand it the latest versions of Firefox no
longer support these plugins. You have to be careful not to upgrade if you want
to retain access to this utility. In tho case getting this feature in Jaws
would be useful providing it will still work in the demo version which yo can
presumably download to when when you need it. I also do not use Firefox as my
main browser on the Windows side but stick with IE for the time being. I seem
to have problems with Firefox crashing no mater what platform I am on for some
reason.

Hi!
Sorry I can't give the list much detail as the link I had for this episode of
the Freedom Scientific podcast doesn't appear to work.
Anyway one of the main features of the Podcast concerns the upcoming JAWS 13, a
public beta of which will be available shortly.
So what's new in JAWS 13? Apparently it will contain an OCR feature to
interpret those sometimes annoying images that pop up on web sites containing a
verification code.
Well sorry boys, we already have products that do just this and at a far
cheaper price I'm sure! than the upgrade or new fee for JAWS 13 will be.
anyway if I find a link to the Podcast then I'll let the list know or perhaps
someone else on list knows the correct link.
Again, good try Freedom Scientific but you've left your run far too late.
