Re: Jaws 2019
Dave...
I advised you always keep at least one older version of jaws on the machine. You can have several version installed at the same time, as long as you run only one at a time. Wait for the bugs to be completely free from the person you want to use. Before you remove the older version. Of course, that could mean you never remove the older version. It’s a matter of preference.

Hi Gudrun,
Change your punctuation level setting to either
Most or All. You can do this in Jaws quick settings, Jaws key + V, or in
the Settings Center, Jaws key + 6, on the number row then, Control, Shift + D,
for default all applications.
Take care. Mike. Go Rams! Sent from my iBarstool. Arguing with a woman is like reading a software license agreement. In the end you have to ignore everything, & click I agree.

Hi there. If I were you, I would keep JAWS 2018 around for a bit, until you are sure that there are no problems with the new version. It is up to you though.

Re: SMA

I was just listening to an FS Cast this morning that said we will get the best pricing if we renew our SMA by yearend. I, too, will use up my last upgrade when I download 2019, so I'm going to buy the SMA shortly after.

When you begin the setup, the installer automatically detects whether you are using 32 or 64-bit and installs the correct components. If you are doing a new install and you want to use a different language other than the default for your operating system, select the Options button on the first installation screen and then choose a language. If you are updating an existing installation, the Options button is not available as JAWS detects the language already installed and updates using the same language. I would add that because of this change the new Jaws 2019 installer file is a mere 23.5 Mb instead of the previous installers which were around 180 Mb. You can still download an offline installer and here you do have to pick the correct one, 32 Bit or 64 Bit, and that installer contains all OCR components and so on and it is well over 500 Mb. The JAWS Audio Ducking feature is now supported in the Windows 10 Spring 2018 Creators update (version 1803) and higher. Audio Ducking causes the volume of other programs to be lowered while JAWS is speaking. For example, if you are listening to music and JAWS begins talking, the volume of the music will be slightly lowered so you can comfortably hear JAWS and then raised back to its current level when JAWS stops talking. By default, audio remains at the same level as JAWS speech. To enable Audio Ducking, open the Startup Wizard from the JAWS Help menu and select the "Lower the volume of other programs while JAWS is speaking" checkbox located on the Speech Settings page. Alternatively, Audio Ducking can be turned on through Settings center. Finally this feature works as it does on the iPhone and it's fantastic that now when you open a website where some annoying and often loud video begins to play you can still hear Jaws as you try to find the buttons to stop it. Faster JAWS Startup with Grace Period Authorization JAWS 2019 introduces a new concept to help ease the delay in response when JAWS first launches and looks for authorization. In prior versions, JAWS would not fully start until proper authorization was found. Since Authorization can include searching for a network license, the amount of time before JAWS started speaking could be significant. While it is not possible to speed up this period directly, the authorization process will now be completed simultaneously to startup. As JAWS searches for authorization, it enters a new "grace period" authorization state which provides limited functionality, similar to what is available on the logon screen, so you can use speech and braille while authorization discovery takes place. Once the authorization check has finished, JAWS then uses the correct feature set based on the license.
