There is an option in JAWS to use Microsoft's default OCR engine with JAWS convenient OCR. Is it a better OCR engine than the one that comes with JAWS?

That would be a very old version and you do own the license, but that version would not work with Windows 10 or 11. OAS's keep changing so you need to upgrade your screen reader.

Depending on your last SMA version, you could upgrade to a current SMA by paying the upgrade cost from that previous version. But if it is not a recent version the price may be more than you want to p

The JAWS SMA license has been $150 for several years, but during convention time they have it for $120. Seems there is a lot of confusion here on this list about the licenses and prices.

FS must think you have the professional, because the Home edition shouldn't cost but $120 .

That must have been for the professional, most people don't need the professional license.

No, The $120 deal is for the SMA license. However there is a sale price for the Home annual license I think it is $20 a year off if you buy 2 or more years. .

2022 does not expire until 2023 is realized which will be October of 2022.

If you are up to date on your SMA, a SMA renewal for $120 that covers two years is a better deal. This is what I did. But if you are behind in your SMA then go for the annual license.

You must select yes or JAWS can't tell you if you have an update. Then if you have an update you can choose to install it or not.

You don't get this notice to update to the next version, only updates to the current version you are running.

I have never pinned an app to the task bar. I have shortcuts for most of my apps on the desktop. Would there be any advantages to pin my apps to the taskbar?

I just tried it here on Windows 11 and JAWS 2022 and it is working as it should.

Is there a tutorial on how to use tabs with JAWS. I am having a problem and I am not sure what I am doing to cause the problem. I can be in one tab and navigating through the web page and suddenly I a

Same here, I was a dedicated user of Window Eyes and I excepted the free JAWS after FS dropped WE. I am and older user and don't wish to learn another screen reader now. I do keep a copy of NVDA just

It turns out that it was not Wells Fargo but a JAWS problem. Uninstalled JAWS and reinstalled it and all is working as it should now. ----- Original Message ---

Well, another bank, Wells Fargo has become almost unusable with JAWS. I just got off the phone with Wells Fargo but they were not able to help me navigate their web page. They are going to work on the
