Thanks Chris!! O. Addison Gethers e-mail address oag1rottie@... O.AddisonGethers@... Facebook oag1rottie@...

I have just had a chat with a clever friend in uk about this and that, he has been testing the Beta version of windows 8, said he thinks it willbe out end of next year. I asked him about the voice

Hi, Just downloaded the latest build from one of the torrents - just do a search on these websites. J12 doesn't work with it well because there is no support for the FS mearor driver.

Hey now, stop making good sense. Asking FS directly would be far too simple and easy. *LOL*

several prerelease versions have been leaked, as you can read about on Wikipedia or lots of other places. Or do a torrent search for Windows 8.

good point Peter, about 30% more!

Nickus, I heard a rumor that Windows 8 addresses the screen differently than previous versions, so whether we like it or not, FS will have had to come up with something new in Jaws 13 to work with

Don't quite agree with you there. Yes apple hardware is more expensive but it's not to finance side projects like accessibility. If windows wanted to, they could have made narator in to what voiceover

A few beta versions have leeked on to the net, I plan to also get hold of it and try it out.

Why not just ask Freedom Scientific?

Could you explain how you were able to try Windows 8 when it has not yet been released in public beta? Just curious. Gerald

Oh crud, I thought I was on another listk, pardon me, going senile.

Yes but Apple charge every user much more for the hardware so that helps subsidise the accessibility side of things. Same with all the other Apple products with accessibility. Peter 1. <a

The last thing I saw was that it doesn't support mirror drivers so JAWS is out for now. I think NVDA and system access works though with a few strange querks i.e. probelms with log on

Hi, I tried it - most of the new parts dren't working well with J12 because Microsoft disabled the option to use the meeror driver.

Yes agree with you on the speculation. Yes think they will make jaws 13 with windows 8 in mind but it will really be a bummer if people have to update to jaws 13 just because 12 or even older

Agree with you guys but as I said don't put your hopes on narator or on FS dropping the price for jaws. Sure there will be a improvement in narator but doubt if it will be big enough to mean anything.

Hello Ed and Friends, I must disagree with you on your thoughts about "Free" screen reading programs coming out and causing the cost of traditional text to speech programs to go up. I should think

One does this by first subscribing to the ViPhone Google Group and asking the question there, as this has absolutely nothing to do with JAWS. James, List Admin
