All I can say is that jaws 7 works better for a lot of people than does 7.1.

Lenny, others have indicated that two programs are better than one. 
Personally, I use no ad ware which you have to purchase but it is easy as 
pie and seems to catch stuff.  occasionally, I run Spybot and it does well, 
too.  If anyone knows of a program that catches everything, I'd like to know 
about it, too.   marilyn

[JAWS-Users] AFB's answer to Are we ready for Vista?

2007-02-06 Thread Marilyn Walker

Hope this is ok to post.  marilyn
Access Issues

Are We Ready for Vista?

Jay Leventhal

With all the hoopla about Microsoft's release of Vista, its new Windows 
operating system, on January 30, 2007, AccessWorld readers may have been 
wondering
how long they would have to wait to be able to have access to this 
long-promised product. The good news for most screen reader users is, you 
don't have
to wait at all.

Vista Versions

According to PC World magazine, Dell and Gateway began selling Vista-based 
PCs on January 30. Other companies will offer Windows XP as long as supplies
last. There are five versions of Vista. According to Microsoft's web site, 
these are:
List of 5 items
. Vista Ultimate: The most complete edition; provides the power, security, 
and mobility features needed for work and all the entertainment features 
that
you want for fun.
. Home Premium: An edition for home desktop and mobile PCs.
. Home Basic: Designed for homes with basic computing needs, such as e-mail, 
browsing the Internet, and viewing photos.
. Business: Designed specifically to meet the needs of small businesses.
. Enterprise: Designed to meet the needs of large, global organizations with 
complex information technology infrastructures.
list end

After Microsoft released Windows XP in October, 2001, it took a few months 
for screen readers and screen magnifiers that worked with XP to be released.
This time, some companies are ready with public beta versions of their 
products at the same time that Microsoft releases Vista. Here is a rundown 
of when
you can expect screen readers and screen magnifiers that work with Vista to 
be available.

FreedomBox

On January 11, Serotek Corporation announced that FreedomBox and Key to 
Freedom with System Access software, were now integrated with Microsoft 
Windows
Vista and available for download. Any current FreedomBox user or anyone with 
Vista can download the software from the company's web site 
www.freedombox.info.

Window-Eyes

GW Micro released a public beta of Window-Eyes 6.1 on January 30. The beta 
works with Vista, and can be used as demonstration software by any Vista 
user,
regardless of whether they currently own Window-Eyes. The release date for a 
final version depends on how the beta-test goes. According to Doug Geoffray
of GW Micro, The biggest problem we have so far is the lack of Vista users 
to test Window-Eyes. Other companies mentioned a problem with finding 
testers
as well.

Window-Eyes 6.0 users can get the 6.1 upgrade for free. GW Micro will 
provide a downloadable upgrade file on their web site. This can be used for 
Windows
2000 and XP. However, if you want to use Vista, you will need a full 
Installation, requiring the company to send a Window-Eyes 6.1 CD. The only 
charge
for the upgrade will be a small fee, probably $5.

Doug Geoffray says: Vista has been a challenge, but, I believe in the end 
it will offer many benefits over XP. Vista has allowed us better access to 
information.
The new Ease-of-Access features in Vista allow us to better support loading 
on secure web pages and reading information displayed on secure desktops, 
such
as the Consent dialog.

Microsoft is continuing to add more MSAA [Microsoft Active Accessibility] 
support to applications that ship with Vista. Perhaps the largest benefit of
Vista is its new level of security. We'll continue to work with Microsoft to 
enhance Vista even more on the accessibility level.

JAWS for Windows

Freedom Scientific is planning to release a version of JAWS that will work 
with Vista by mid-February. This update will work for everyone using JAWS 
8.0
and windows XP or Windows 2000. It will be a free update for all JAWS 8 
customers that intend to use it on Windows XP and 2000. For JAWS 8.0 users 
who
intend to buy Vista, Freedom Scientific will ask that they all participate 
in the JAWS software maintenance agreement (SMA) program to ensure that 
their
JAWS 8 license will authorize in Vista. Those users will still receive the 
next SMA upgrades as expected, so this does not mean that installing in 
Vista
will result in losing an SMA.

ZoomText

Ai Squared plans to release a public beta of ZoomText 9.1 during the second 
week of February. The final release is planned for late March or early 
April.
ZoomText 9.1 will be a minor upgrade for owners of ZoomText 9.0. For this 
group, the upgrade price for ZoomText Magnifier will be $75. The upgrade for
ZoomText Magnifier/Reader will be $99. Users of ZoomText 8.1 and earlier can 
upgrade their ZoomText Magnifier product for $149, or their ZoomText 
Magnifier/Reader
product for $199.

Hal and Supernova

Dolphin Computer Access currently plans to release a version of Hal and 
Supernova that is compatible with Vista sometime in the second quarter of 
2007.
This version 8.0 will be a free upgrade for anyone who buys 7.03 after 
January 31, 2007. Hal users can expect access to Vista that is very similar 
to access
provided to Windows XP.

 Greetings to All Involved with Screen Readers,
 As you may know, Microsoft is releasing Microsoft Windows Vista and
 Office
 2007 today.  Windows Vista will replace Windows XP, while Office 2007
 will
 replace
 Office 2003.  This means that the current versions of Microsoft Word,
 Excel,
 PowerPoint, Outlook, and other Office applications will be replaced with
 the
 new Office 2007.  So, instead of getting Word 2003 when consumers
 purchase a
 new computer or an upgrade to Office, they will be getting Word 2007.
 Instead
 of getting Excel 2003, they will be getting Excel 2007, and so on.  These
 new versions have many enhancements, and are much different than the
 previous
 versions.
 We have been getting many inquires regarding screen readers and if they
 will
 work with Vista and the new Office 2007, as the entire computer industry
 will
 be shifting starting today.  The answer is that if a client is using
 Window-Eyes, then yes, the client can get access to Office 2007 and
 Windows
 Vista.
 However, if a client is using ANY other competing screen reader (such as
 JAWS), then the answer is no.  So, there is only one choice:
 Window-Eyes.
 If
 you check

www.dell.com,


 Dell is already shipping computers with Windows Vista, and HP appears to
 only be shipping Vista and Office 2007 on almost all computers as well.
 In
 fact,
 most computer stores are pulling Windows XP off of the shelves as of
 today.
 By now, you are asking yourself, What does this mean to me?  If you are
 a counselor or an evaluator for blind or visually impaired clients; or,
 if
 you are a screen reader user, this information is very relevant and
 extremely
 crucial.  Most clients require Office applications to perform their daily
 functions in the workplace and/or in an educational setting.  Currently,
 Window-Eyes
 is the ONLY screen reader to fully support Word 2007, Excel 2007, Outlook
 2007, and PowerPoint 2007.  JAWS is currently only supporting Word 2007,
 and
 does NOT currently have any Vista support, nor does it have support for
 Excel, PowerPoint, or Outlook 2007.  Thus, if a client needs access to
 these
 applications,
 they will need to use Window-Eyes.  So, when you think screen reader,
 Think
 Window-Eyes First.
 In Orlando, Florida last week at the Assistive Technology Industry
 Association (ATIA) annual convention, Window-Eyes was the only screen
 reader
 to be showing
 off support for Windows Vista and Office 2007.  As they have been for the
 last year, Microsoft was exclusively demonstrating Window-Eyes when
 showing
 off
 screen reader support for Vista and Office 2007.  For existing clients
 that
 currently use JAWS, but require access to Vista and/or Office 2007,
 Window-Eyes
 has implemented a JAWS keyboard layout to reduce the learning curve.
 To allow clients to use Office 2007, the current release of Window-Eyes
 will
 work.  If they require access to Vista, a public beta of Window-Eyes is
 available
 today.  This is ground-breaking, as blind consumers have never before had
 access to an operating system when it ships.  GW Micro is leading the
 pack,
 and
 is obviously still the world leader in screen reading technology.
 I think this important information for anyone who is involved with screen
 readers, which is why I am emailing you about it.  I am pasting the
 official
 announcement
 below:
 Think Window-Eyes First - This is the first time in the history of
 computer
 technology, where a full-featured screen reader is ready on the same day
 as
 the general release of a new operating system.  No other screen reader is
 ready.
 In July 2000 at the summer conferences GW Micro demonstrated Window-Eyes
 reading Adobe PDF files.  No other screen reader was ready.
 In September 2001 at the WCD exhibition GW Micro demonstrated Window-Eyes
 running under Windows XP.  No other screen reader was ready.
 In March 2002 at the CSUN conference GW Micro demonstrated Window-Eyes
 version 4.2 utilizing Flash technology.  No other screen reader was
 ready.
 With the January 2003 release of version 4.21, Window-Eyes was the first
 to
 implement Display Chain Management, the standard that allows applications
 such
 as screen readers and screen magnifiers to co-exist peacefully.  No other
 screen reader was ready.
 In March 2003 at the CSUN conference GW Micro demonstrated Window-Eyes
 running under Citrix MetaFrame XP, Microsoft Terminal Services and
 Microsoft
 Windows
 XP/2003 Professional Remote Desktop.  No other screen reader was ready.
 When Window-Eyes 4.5 was released in September 2003 it had the first and
 to
 this date the only error reporting system available in a screen reader.
 This
 error reporting system improves stability and reliability, which are

2007-02-01 Thread Marilyn Walker

Good point, Bob, that gw micro is talking about a beta version of window 
eyes.  I think all of us know, now, that jaws will work, according to the 
info Flore posted.  Now, we can sit back and see what happens.  marilyn

I totally agree witih you, Brian.  And I think it is definitely a jaws user 
issue when our jaws upgrades are glitch infested.  I have jaws 7. and IE 6 
and everything is working great.  I recall not installing jaws 7 for a year 
until some stuff was worked out so I won't be surprised if I wait on jaws 8 
until summer.  Unfortunately, the Jaws folks get our money up front and we 
end up getting the most help from each other on this list.  So thanks to all

[JAWS-Users] Re: don't upgrade i.e.

2006-12-28 Thread Marilyn Walker


Walt, if I may beg your pardon first, I have a comment.  I don't think 
anyone is knocking FS per se, but I do think that they are responsible for 
keeping jaws up to date.  It seems that they issue a new version every year 
regardless of whether or not it is up to date on the Microsoft I E version. 
It has been known for quite some time that IE 7 was on the way so my 
question would be as follows: what did FS do to be ready?  That is not a 
complicatedd question.  We are all jaws users whose many issues on this list 
are in regard to our difficulties with jaws.  Marilyn
