Jaws is back to crushing hanging in freezing with excel 2016 I am using the latest versions of both. Any ideas? All for the days of window eyes. Hopefully somebody can compete soon with jaws so they will have better incentive to fix on going bugs

Can you be more specific? I have no issues with Excel 2016 and Jaws 2018 latest update on my Windows 7 work desktops or my Windows 10 laptop. Which OS are you using? Which version of Jaws? Also, are the files you are opening stored in a OneDrive folder? I did have some problems a few weeks ago where Excel crashed if I tried to open a file which was in OneDrive, as soon as I copied said file to say the Desktop or another local folder it was fine. However, this problem disappeared for me again as well.
As for competition, there is NVDA, I don’t use it because I have been a Jaws user for 29 years this fall (starting with Jaws for DOS of course, and I just can’t get used to NVDA. But those who use it a lot seem to like it quite a bit.

Dan,
I do experience this sporadically, but in no way to isolate an issue to pass on to VFO. It has not done it in last couple of weeks to my recollection.

Good morning, I have been experiencing this issue with the sale since last August. It happens almost daily at work when I’m in the Excel spreadsheet. I am hoping freedom scientific actually fixes it soon because it is very annoying all the time.

David, For sometime now, I have read, and experience, similar issues with excel and jaws. I believe that VFO has been contacted by a number of folks regarding this but they seem to say they cannot replicate it and don’t see where there is an issue so hoping that there is a fix I think for us is probably not in the cards. Just my opinion On Mar 25, 2018, at 9:01 AM, David L Minton, Jr <mrbleu921@...> wrote:

Thanks, will try moving file as I am using One Drive. Also found that using the “Tab” key makes a difference. Yes, JAWS is good but since VFO bought them and nudged out Window Eyes it appears to me that tech support and reliability has fallen off. Nvidia is good for routine tasks but not as much for major work projects.
