George, In some companies, it is trying to be competitive and in some it is being taken over by another, Such as Northern New England was bout out by California AAA and in-fact they had built their version of Windows 7.. So really to be competitive in a lot of call centers one needs to be on-top of the Jaws, latest and in some cases willing to put the money out of their pocket or the training services to get them there. Then, again, sad that some companies write their own set up for their operation and hope it is hack proof and at the same time Causes Jaws not to work on the system anymore. This is a Jaws Users group so I won't go past just saying sometimes it is just the name of the game. Geno have 16 and don't use it with my Windows 7 and internet 11 Hi, I was thinking of doing the same thing of combining Jaws 14 and window 8.1, But I usually let other people try it first or ask the club if it's really compatible? Or, do some research, Sometimes I cannot imagine, why people change the system that is working perfect, just to join all the other people that upgraded to otherOS's and jaws versions, just to keep running with the dogs?
And you are the first person who has posted on this matter. >From reading all posts, I think jaws 16 and 8.1 is better, but you'll just have to get use to the new set up.

After working in two different areas. One running my son's Stone-Hill-Business and Working for AAA Emergency Road Service as a Call Receiver. With AAA, I had my own license Pro running my son's business and just received permission from Freedom Scientific to use at AAA, now 15 years ago. Anyway, at the AAA job I had a lot of script writing done to accomplish some of the task in doing Emergency Road service calls. In the scripting I can tell you if it was working fine and then there is issues. The area set up for the scripts (Sorry don't know the term knowledge used) yet if those frames have been moved or there has been an up-grade to the system, it will throw off the scripts. The other is is the company willing to drop back to Windows 7 where maybe the Jaws in question was working or willing to wait till Windows 10 comes out in Late March so I've been told. As I've been told it will be one more secure and similar to windows 7.. The question might end up coming to what is the company willing to spend in the Jaws.. Geno I am in agreement with you, but I need concrete information to build my case. Given that my users are having such varied experiences, I'm hoping that someone can point me in the direction of a known and consistent problem that I can replicate, and then use as supporting evidence.

Unfortunately, JAWS16 has not been approved in my work environment and I've got some JAWS users who have been moved over to Windows8.1 and are experiencing problems. None of them are experiencing the same problems. FS has been contacted in each situation and has told the user and the IT rep that there is no way to resolve the problem other than moving to JAWS16. IT is convinced that because no 2 users are experiencing the exact same problem, that the issues can be resolved and there is no need for JAWS16. Some problems that have been experienced are: . Inability to use Alt plus a number key to read header info in an open Outlook2010 e-mail message . Unable to navigate the Outlook2010 calendar . Unable to read the contents of an Excel2010 cell after using the F2 to enter into Edit mode of that cell . Many problems with using spell checker in MS-Word2010. Are there any known problems like the ones listed above that can be attributed to the use of JAWS14 that can only be resolved by moving to JAWS16? Are there any other issues not listed here that can only be resolved by moving to JAWS16?
