I agree. While it will be interesting to see the new features, it
doesn't change my feelings on either the price or the licensing of the
product. But I am happy to use it as a back up screen reader
particularly for times when I need a screenshot or two and want to know
what it says. There is a screen reader that does this already but is not
as well known as JAWS. It's called Cobra and is made by a German company
called Baum.

Hi!
Sorry I can't give the list much detail as the link I had for this episode of
the Freedom Scientific podcast doesn't appear to work.
Anyway one of the main features of the Podcast concerns the upcoming JAWS 13, a
public beta of which will be available shortly.
So what's new in JAWS 13? Apparently it will contain an OCR feature to
interpret those sometimes annoying images that pop up on web sites containing a
verification code.
Well sorry boys, we already have products that do just this and at a far
cheaper price I'm sure! than the upgrade or new fee for JAWS 13 will be.
anyway if I find a link to the Podcast then I'll let the list know or perhaps
someone else on list knows the correct link.
Again, good try Freedom Scientific but you've left your run far too late.
