Re: jaws updates
Bill White
Hi, Curt. Under JAWS key plus J>Options>Basics, is your JAWS set to remind you of updates? This check box should be about five presses of the TAB key in Basics.

Re: TW Blue Stopped Working
Steve Nutt
Yes, but it doesn't seem to have been pushed to the auto update channel, probably because you have to uninstall the version you have to update the new one.

Hi Billy,
I don’t think it would.
Many of the keystrokes are similar to JAWS.

I can’t remember what the price of a JAWS licence was this year, but it wasn’t over £150 I don’t think.

Important JAWS Tandem Information for JAWS 2022 Users
Curtis Chong
Greetings and salutations:
If you are a JAWS 2022 user and wish to connect via JAWS Tandem with a user who is running an older version of JAWS, please be advised that as of right now, this connection will not be possible. You will need to switch to an older version of JAWS in order to achieve a Tandem connection.
I am told by the folks at Vispero that, “We are working on getting the auto update of 2021 and a new version of 2020 posted within the next few days.”
With kind regards,
Curtis Chong

None of my computers have fast start up enabled, yet the start up sound works on all three of them.

The windows startup sound is checked, but I still don't get the sound when I boot up my computer. I'm told that I might have to enable "fast startup" in order to make this happen. Can you confirm this? Tom Behler

Re: Jaws Screen Reader cost?.
Steve Nutt
Hi Ed,
Don’t Sight And Sound use Divide By as well, so you could pay for JAWS in 12 monthly installments?
All the best

Fi Billy, The annual subscription mentioned isn’t available tu us in the UK as yet. However, every summer Sight and Sound reduce the price of JAWS and other FS products in line with sales offered by FS. I can’t remember what the price of a JAWS licence was this year, but it wasn’t over £150 I don’t think. Hanging on until July/August is likely to be your best bet, though NVDA as has already been suggested is a capable screen reader which may well meet your needs.
