Enhancements in JAWS 17.0.2211 (June 2016)

The following is a list of improvements made between the JAWS 17 May 2016 
release and the June 2016 update.

To download the latest release, visit the
Downloads web page.

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.

Note: Since Nemeth Braille is a system exclusive to English, MathML content 
can currently only be shown in braille if JAWS is configured for one of the
English Contracted Braille output modes.

Other Changes
list of 10 items
. 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.
