What's new in this release:

Enhancements in JAWS 2018.1803.24 (March 2018)

The following is a list of improvements made in JAWS 2018 between the 
February 2018 update and the March 2018 update.

JAWS
list of 11 items
. JAWS will now unmute your sound card automatically. In addition to 
refreshing the screen, pressing INSERT+ESC now also checks the sound device 
being
used by JAWS or Fusion to make sure it is not currently muted or has the 
sound level set to 0 percent. If muted, it will be unmuted. Or, if the sound 
level
somehow got set to 0 percent, this new feature will raise it to 50 percent, 
allowing you to recover without getting assistance. The sound device is also
checked every time JAWS or Fusion is restarted. If you purposely muted JAWS 
speech, there is not an issue as this new feature only looks at the Windows
setting for the sound card, not the JAWS speech settings.
. This update includes drivers for the Orbit Reader 20 braille display from 
APH. Once the March 2018 update or later is installed, your Orbit Reader 20
will work with JAWS or Fusion 2018 without the need to download a separate 
driver installation file.
. We've added a new layered command to toggle the Screen Shade on or off. 
Since some computers do not offer a PRINTSCREEN key, you can now press 
INSERT+SPACEBAR,
F11 as an alternative to INSERT+SPACEBAR, PRINTSCREEN to toggle the Screen 
Shade feature.
. The Commands Search along with the layered keystroke to launch it 
(INSERT+SPACEBAR, J) is now at the top of the JAWS Help menu to make it 
easier for
users to locate this feature. The Search for Commands item has been removed 
from the JAWS Utilities menu.
. Resolved an issue with the Bookshare Book Search Research It lookup source 
not displaying a list of books as expected.
. When selecting files from a list view in File Explorer, resolved an issue 
where JAWS would not announce names of files if the list extended past the
visible window.
. Resolved an issue where JAWS would unexpectedly restart when pressing 
ALT+WINDOWS+I to move to the next inconsistency in a document.
. When using JAWS over a Remote Desktop or Citrix connection with a braille 
display connected, resolved an issue where JAWS on the remote system would
sometimes close unexpectedly.
. Added a new Dictionary entry to correct the pronunciation of Aira. It will 
now be pronounced: "EyeRah".
. JAWS now uses the Liblouis braille translator for French braille. Note 
that French Grade 1 and French Grade 2 currently only supports output. If 
you
want to be able to both display and type braille in Grade 1 or Grade 2, you 
should choose Unified French.
. JAWS now includes a Finnish language braille table which can be selected 
in the Computer Braille Tables dialog box in Settings Center.

Amazon Kindle for PC
list of 1 items
. You can now select text in a Kindle book by character, word, line, and 
paragraph. Once you select the text and press CTRL+C to copy, the Kindle app 
opens
a selection toolbar where you can copy the selected text, highlight the 
text, lookup the text on the Internet, add a note, and more.
list end

Microsoft Office
list of 5 items
. Addressed issues with JAWS not working correctly with the Spellchecker in 
the latest updates to Office 365.
. When navigating in the Outlook auto complete list that displays when 
typing in the header fields of a new message, resolved an issue where JAWS 
was announcing
the previous item instead of the currently selected one.
. When spell checking a Word document and you are focused in the Original 
Sentence field, pressing ENTER now accepts the first suggestion.
. Addressed reported issues with using Braille Line Mode in Office 2010 on 
Windows 7.
. In response to customer feedback, improved the error message that is 
spoken when INSERT+C to read the word in context is pressed and focus is not 
in
the Spellchecker.
list end

Web Browsers
list of 11 items
. You can now select and copy text from web pages in Microsoft Edge. 
Currently, selecting by character, word, and line are supported.
. When navigating by character in Edge, addressed an issue where JAWS was 
not indicating upper case characters.
. When using the JAWS table reading commands to move through a table in 
Edge, resolved an issue where JAWS was not indicating links in table cells.
. The O and SHIFT+O Navigation Quick Keys now move to the next and previous 
article on a web page. In addition, the CTRL+INSERT+O command now displays
a list of articles on the page. The scripts for navigating by object are 
still available but are no longer assigned. They can be reassigned if needed 
using
the Navigation Quick Key Manager accessed from the Run JAWS Manager dialog 
box (INSERT+F2).
. Pressing APOSTROPHE or SHIFT+APOSTROPHE now moves to the next or previous 
tab control on a web page. You can also now press CTRL+INSERT+APOSTROPHE to
display a list of all tab controls.
. When encountering a separator on a web page, resolved an issue where JAWS 
was incorrectly reading several dashes before saying "separator".
. Addressed an issue where JAWS was not automatically reading dialog boxes 
opened from web pages in Chrome or when using INSERT+B.
. Resolved an issue where some tables were not being detected properly with 
JAWS 2018 even though they worked fine in JAWS 18.
. Addressed a reported issue with the B and SHIFT+B Navigation Quick Keys 
not moving to menu buttons as expected.
. Resolved an issue where JAWS custom labels assigned to edit fields were 
not being announced in Chrome.
. If Forms mode is set to Auto or Semi-Auto, resolved a reported issue where 
Forms mode was not activating when navigating to a vertical slider using the
TAB Key.
list end

Windows 10
list of 3 items
. Resolved an issue where JAWS was not announcing results in the calculator 
in the latest Windows 10 updates.
. If you use multiple desktops, JAWS now indicates the currently active 
desktop when CTRL+WINDOWS+LEFT ARROW or CTRL+WINDOWS+RIGHT ARROW is pressed 
to
switch between desktops.
. When pressing ENTER to select a category or subcategory in the Windows 
Settings app (WINDOWS+I), JAWS now says which item is selected as you 
navigate
the list in addition to indicating the selection in braille.
list end

Take care.  Mike.  Go Dodgers!
