October 24, 2011
Freedom Scientific today announced the release of JAWSR for
Windows version 13, including Convenient OCR, a feature that performs
Optical Character Recognition on text that is displayed as an image,
thereby
enabling blind computer users to read items that were previously
inaccessible. Examples of such screens include a PDF file, the setup
screen of an
application, or the menu of selections on a DVD. JAWS now provides an
opportunity to read and interact with these screens, including locating
and clicking
on text which may be required to activate a control.
JAWS 13 also includes Results Viewer, a new HTML interface
that displays the results of features like Research It. The new
interface
enables faster navigation with Navigation Quick Keys and switching to
other
windows without losing the results of your lookup. Sports scores have
returned to Research It and are easier to navigate than ever before. The
INSERT+V
keystroke now opens the new Quick Settings, which replaces Adjust JAWS
Options and matches the easy-to-use Settings Center style interface
introduced
last year in JAWS 12.
"This release represents a huge step in accessibility for
screen reader users," says Eric Damery, Vice President of Software
Product
Management for Freedom Scientific. "Whether trying to identify and read
inaccessible PDF documents that are just scanned images or interacting
with
graphical controls that could not previously be located, the new
Convenient OCR option built into JAWS 13 has been described as a real
game
changer. JAWS 13 is also packed with other features and enhancements
that have
been selected and designed to improve access and ease of use for all
users."
The upgrade is an SMA release and can be downloaded as
either a 32-bit or 64-bit version from the JAWS downloads page.
