In the future, could a similar feature for tracking packages via the USPS be considered? My wife has an online business and the USPS is what she uses. She's sighted, but I help her out whenever possible and this time to time requires the tracking of a package. It would be most helpful and fast to have a research it option for this as well. On a side note, other than requesting or suggesting research it loptions on a public mailing list, is there any other way to give feedback on this jfw feature for future considerations? I mean, outside of the standard tech support e-mail for example.

You can get it now on the download pages of Freedom Scientific or via the Check for Updates Option. Please remember that if you have made some changes to your Research It items, you may need to go to the configuration manager and check all the items after installing this new update. Here are the details on the changes below. Regards, Eric Damery Enhanced Typing Support for Focus Braille Displays For several versions, JAWS has had the ability to receive text input from the Focus 40 and 80, and Focus 40 Blue braille displays using the included Perkins-style braille keyboard. Use LEFT SHIFT+SPACEBAR+RIGHT SHIFT, the three buttons at the front of the device, to toggle Typing Mode on and off on the Focus display. Now this functionality has been expanded so that the Focus can do almost everything you can do while using PAC Mate Remote. When you toggle on Typing Mode, not only can you input text via computer braille, but you can also control your computer from the Focus, just as you can with PAC Mate Remote using a PAC Mate BX or QX. For more information, refer to the PAC Mate Remote Help topic in JAWS for the list of keystrokes.: Open the JAWS Help system and navigate to the Keystrokes book. Press RIGHT ARROW to expand the book then DOWN ARROW to the "Keystrokes for PAC Mate BX Remote Mode" topic. Press ENTER on this topic, and then F6 to move into the reading pane. You must have JAWS 11.0.756 or later installed to use this enhanced Typing Mode functionality. Enhancements in JAWS 11.0.756 (December 2009) The following is a list of items addressed or added between the final JAWS 11.0.746 release and the JAWS 11.0.756 posting. All enhancements since the initial public beta release are included in this release. * Resolved an issue in Windows 7 where properly authorized JAWS licenses were being asked to reactivate after rebooting. * Improvements have been made to the way JAWS recognizes all data tables that are tagged with the <TH> component. * Resolved an issue with FSReader 2.0 where audio content was not being played after pressing CTRL+P. * The Set Row Total and the Set Column Total functions now correctly define and report the row or column total for the selected cell in an Excel worksheet. * Resolved an issue in Excel where some settings were not correctly saved after closing the Adjust JAWS Options dialog box. * JAWS correctly identifies tables using the Navigation Quick Key T when running Internet Explorer 7 or Internet Explorer 8. * Resolved an issue where JAWS would frequently shut down when running Windows Explorer in Windows 7. * When using Firefox, JAWS correctly enters Forms Mode and reads table headings. * Resolved a reported issue when using Terminal Services or Remote desktop if connecting to a computer running Windows 7. * Resolved a reported issue in Internet Explorer edit controls where text being selected was not being announced as expected. The following lookup sources have been added to the JAWS Research It feature in this release. Remember that you can quickly access lookup sources using the INSERT+SPACEBAR, R keystroke. See previous lookup sources <http://fresci-stage/downloads/jaws/JAWS-whats-new.asp#NewLookupSource01 > for a list of items added in an earlier release. * Area Code Lookup: Type a U.S. or Canadian area code into the lookup edit field and learn the city, state, or province location for that area code. * Business Search: Allows you to search for a specific or general business in your area using its name or business category and location. The location can be in the form of a zip code, city, or city and state. Search results will provide the name, address, phone number, and, when applicable, Web site link. Always use a semicolon to separate the business name or category from the location, for example, pizza; 33716. This particular search will return a list of pizza restaurants in and around the 33716 zip code. If you know the name and location of a business, such as John Doe Plumbing in St. Petersburg, Florida, you can type John Doe Plumbing; St Petersburg, FL to retrieve the address and phone number. If you would rather see results for more plumbers in your city, enter the term plumbers and then the location for a list of these businesses in your area. Note: Use a comma to separate the city and state location. Also, do not use a period when typing city name abbreviations, for example, type St Petersburg, FL, or Washington, DC. For more information, refer to the Business Search example <http://fresci-stage/downloads/jaws/JAWS-whats-new.asp#BusinessExample> . * Convert Currency: Use this lookup source to convert an amount of money from one currency into a foreign equivalent. The current day's exchange rate is used to convert the currency values typed into the lookup edit field. Note: Three letter abbreviations are used to represent international currencies, for example, USD for U.S. dollars, GBP for British pounds, or EUR for Euros. To view a list of valid currency abbreviations, select the Convert Currency lookup without entering a monetary value. Research It will indicate that you must enter valid currency values and will then display a list of currency abbreviations for numerous countries. Run Convert Currency again, but this time use the appropriate currency abbreviations from the previous list. When typing currencies and amounts into the lookup edit field, first type the amount and currency you are converting from, and then type the currency that you are converting to. For example, to convert 100 U.S. dollars into British pounds, type 100 USD GBP using a space between each item typed. The result will appear similar to 100 U.S. dollars = 61. 2070021 British pounds. Refer to the Convert Currency example <http://fresci-stage/downloads/jaws/JAWS-whats-new.asp#CurrencyExample> for more information. * FedEx Tracking: Returns status information for a valid FedEx(r) tracking number. Note: You may want to consider making this your default lookup source if your job requires you to frequently track FedEx ship Eric Damery Vice President, Software Product Management Freedom Scientific Inc. 11800 31st Court North St. Petersburg, FL 33716-1805 Phone: 727-299-6110 Fax: 727-803-8001 edam...@freedomscientific.com For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
