In brief, here are the "features"... Enhancements in JAWS 17.0.2211 (June 2016)
Read and study MathML Content in Braille MathML is a language for including mathematical content on web pages, enabling browsers to present math and science equations and formulas as they would appear on paper. Beginning with JAWS 16, JAWS has provided spoken, natural language descriptions of MathML expressions in Internet Explorer and Firefox using the same terms a teacher would use to explain them in a classroom without the need to install any third-party software applications or plugins. When you encounter MathML on a web page, JAWS describes the expression, followed by the message "Math Content." You can then press ENTER while focused on the expression to open the Math Viewer where you can use the ARROW keys to explore it in greater detail. Math expressions are also displayed with highlighting in the Math Viewer as they are spoken so sighted teachers can assist students that are using JAWS to study math. For students who find it more beneficial to study math using braille, JAWS 17 now also displays MathML content in braille using the popular Nemeth Braille code. If you are using a refreshable braille display and JAWS is configured for Contracted Braille, the message "Math" is displayed followed by the expression. If the expression is too long to fit on the display, you can use the panning buttons on your display to view the rest of it. Otherwise, if JAWS is set for Computer Braille, the message "Math" is displayed followed by a message stating that Contracted Braille must be enabled to view math content. When the Math Viewer is active, the entire expression remains on the display as you use the ARROW keys to navigate parts of the expression. However, the cursor (dots 7 and 8) moves to the start of the partial expression that gains focus. Pressing a cursor router over a term in the expression will also immediately move the cursor to the specific location and cause JAWS to speak and visually highlight the partial expression as if you moved to it with the ARROW keys. Other Changes . In response to a customer request, the CTRL+CAPS LOCK+LEFT BRACKET keystroke has been assigned in the laptop keyboard layout to tether the JAWS cursor to the PC cursor. This command causes the JAWS Cursor to follow the PC Cursor as it moves around the screen. In the desktop keyboard layout, this keystroke is CTRL+INSERT+NUM PAD MINUS. . You can now press SHIFT+INSERT+NUM PAD PLUS to route the Touch Cursor to the JAWS cursor location, or SHIFT+INSERT+NUM PAD MINUS to route the JAWS cursor to the Touch cursor location. . Addressed reported instances where JAWS was unexpectedly closing or restarting in some Windows 10 apps. . When opening a meeting request from the Inbox in Outlook 2013 and later, resolved an issue where you could not access the From and Sent fields with JAWS. . Resolved a reported issue with the Internet Explorer Add a Favorite dialog box where JAWS was not reading the "Create in" combo box. . Addressed a reported issue where Navigation Quick Keys stopped working after pressing INSERT+CTRL+ESC to reload the scripts, or focus moved from the secure desktop to the browser. . In Word 2013 and 2016, addressed a customer reported issue where JAWS was announcing "find and replace" instead of "go to" when pressing CTRL+G. . Resolved an issue with Excel 2013 and later where pressing ALT+EQUALS to add the numbers in a column or row was not announcing the range of cells to be included in the total. . In Excel, resolved an issue where pressing a cursor router on a braille display was not working as expected when editing the contents of a cell. . Resolved issues identified by users through the JAWS error reporting feature.
