Enhancements in JAWS 2019.1901.66 (January
2019)
The following is a list of improvements made in JAWS
2019 between the December 2018 update and the January 2019
update.
To download the latest release, visit the Downloads web
page . You must be logged on as an administrator to install this
software.
Add/Remove Vocalizer Expressive Voices
This new utility included in the latest releases of
JAWS, ZoomText, and Fusion provides a solution to seamlessly sample and
install or remove the Vocalizer
Expressive 2 voices used by all three products. This
avoids the need to download anything from external pages and makes the entire
process much easier across all products. And remember, once voices are set up
for one product, there is no need to install them again for the other
products.
From the JAWS main window, press ALT+O to open the
Options menu, expand the Voices submenu, and then select Add/Remove Voices to
open the Add/Remove Vocalizer Expressive Voices utility.
This dialog includes:
• Language specific list of currently available
Vocalizer Expressive 2 Premium voices.
• Ability to select and Install as many voices as you
would like right from the list.
• See what voices are already installed as you review
the list.
• Hear a sample of the currently focused voice in the
list before deciding if you want to select it to be installed. To play a
sample, just press ALT+P while focused on the voice name in the list.
• Option to uninstall one or more voices.
• Option to uninstall all voices.
• Option to uninstall only the compact voices that had
been previously installed.
Note: If you remove a voice that is currently in use,
your JAWS, Fusion, or ZoomText will continue to speak using that voice until
you restart the software or reboot the computer. Once you restart, it will
default to the next profile available.
If there are no more Vocalizer Expressive Voices
available, JAWS and Fusion will default back to Eloquence.
In JAWS and Fusion, after installing a premium voice, a
profile is created for each of those new individual voices which can be
further customized using the Voice Adjustment dialog box. You can also easily
switch between all the new voices by pressing CTRL+INSERT+S to open the Select
a Voice Profile dialog box, pressing the first letter of the voice you want to
use, and then pressing ENTER. If you prefer not to have a profile generated
for each installed voice, open the Voice Adjustment dialog box and clear the
"Enable Additional Voice Profiles for installed Vocalizer Expressive 2 voices"
check box so that only the standard Vocalizer Expressive factory and user
profiles are listed.
If you find that compact voice collections had
previously been installed, there is also an option to remove all compact
voices. This is especially beneficial for users of Fusion or ZoomText 2018 or
later which installs dozens of the compact voices by default. If you do not
need all of these voices and languages, this makes it easy to remove all
compact voices at once.
Improved Kindle Support
We have made several improvements to performance when
using JAWS with the Kindle for PC app from Amazon. In particular, you can now
do the following while reading a book:
• Use U or SHIFT+U to move to the next or
prior link in a book.
• Use N or SHIFT+N to move to the next or
prior block of text that is not a link.
• Use INSERT+UP ARROW or INSERT+NUM PAD 5
twice quickly to spell the current line or word just like in other
applications.
• Press INSERT+PAGE DOWN to read the Kindle status bar.
In addition, JAWS now announces when you move to a new
page while reading.
Other Changes
• In a Remote Desktop or Citrix connection, resolved an
issue with speech not being interrupted as expected when pressing CTRL
or when typing.
• JAWS now correctly reads emojis in messages you
receive in Outlook.
• Resolved an issue with JAWS not reading as expected
when attempting to select an address from the Autocomplete list in an Outlook
message.
• When switching views in the Outlook calendar, removed
extraneous speech so that only details for the current view are
announced.
• You can now configure whether or not levels are
announced when navigating Word documents or Outlook emails, such as when
moving in and out of lists. To toggle this feature, open Quick Settings
(INSERT+V ) and navigate to "Outline Level Indication."
• If you hear the buzzer sound while typing in Word or
Outlook to indicate a misspelled word, when you manually correct or delete the
word, JAWS now plays a ding sound to indicate the error has been corrected.
With this feature enabled, JAWS also indicates spelling errors in documents as
you navigate. If you prefer not to have JAWS indicate misspellings as you
navigate, or you want to know about spelling errors, but you do not want to be
alerted as you
type and make a correction, open Quick Settings
(INSERT+V ), turn off the "Spelling Buzzer on mistyped words" option, and then
you will be able to configure the "Spelling Error Detection"
setting.
• When attempting to insert a symbol in Word, Excel, or
PowerPoint, resolved an issue where JAWS was not reading as expected while
navigating the available symbols.
• Resolved issues with table navigation as well as
columns not being reported correctly in certain non-uniform tables in
Word
• When doing a Say All ( INSERT+DOWN ARROW ) in Word
2013, addressed a customer reported issue where text was being skipped if a
page break was encountered.
• Links selected in Research It results now open in the
user's default web browser.
• Resolved a reported issue where position information
in lists was not being announced as expected when the "Announce Position and
Count when navigating in lists" option in the Configure Verbosity Levels
section of Settings Center was disabled. When this option is off, JAWS should
only announces position information when the list first gains focus or when
pressing INSERT+UP ARROW or INSERT+TAB .
• Resolved customer reported issues in Adobe Reader
where JAWS was repeating table column titles multiple times and was not always
reading the first line of a new page if the previous page ended with a
list.
• Addressed a reported issue in Adobe Reader where
keystrokes such as CTRL+PAGE UP or PAGE DOWN to move by page were
not working in certain PDF documents.
• Addressed a reported issue where JAWS language auto
detection was not working in PDF documents.
• Addressed an issue in Chrome where bulleted list items
were being shown with the bullet on a separate line from the
content.
• When you activate the JAWS Quick Keys mode in Google
Docs ( INSERT+SPACEBAR, Q ), you can now press M or SHIFT+M to
move to the next or previous spelling error. In addition, you can now press
QUESTION MARK to display help for this layer.
• Resolved an issue where JAWS was saying "0 of minus 1"
while navigating combo boxes in Internet Explorer or when using Virtual
Ribbons in Office.
• Resolved reported issues using JAWS with the iManage
desksite software.
• JAWS now includes a Czech language braille table which
can be selected in the Computer Braille Tables dialog box in Settings
Center.

JAWS2019 is struggling with Word for me, as well
sometimes it reports that
a page is blank, when NVDA and Narrator can read a
pageful of text.
Unload/reload is the only solution I have
found.
