Well, I for one have few issues with Jaws 2019. I am on the private beta list as well and even found that throughout the beta cycle and before the first public beta came out Jaws 2019 worked quite well. Yes, for a while there was no automatic feedback in the Windows 10 Calculator and there were of course some other issues, but I have already removed Jaws 2018 from most of my computers.

This is one of the many things about these huge conglomerates buying up companies and insisting on deadlines for new releases that truly ticks me off. They could not care less about their customers. Atleast they recognize it is a good idea to keep a previous working version around. We no longer have any real competition in the screen reader market, so they don't have to be concerned. Too many jobs now depend on Jaws scripts so one cannot easily switch to NVDA or Dolphin and be productive, though I'm not sure how productive people can be when they have to spend so much time dealing with buggy new releases only to have to go back to the previous release to get anything done. I'm done complaining for today. Richard “Definition of an expert: An ex is a has-been and a spirt is a drip under pressure.” – Bruce U.

I know that is always a possibility with new releases but they made it seem that new releases of Jaws were always quite buggy. |
