Moderated A couple of things about JAWS 2023

Hi all!
A couple of things I've noticed about JAWS 2023. 1. Audio ducking seems to be ducking some audio even though JAWS is not talking. I know it's because of audio ducking because when I turn it off, the problem disappears. I wonder if whatever they did to fix the Wave Max problem has anything to do with this. For now I've turned off audio ducking though I prefer it to be on. 2. In Edge, JAWS used to read the suggestions Edge would offer as I type in an address in the address bar, now it doesn't. 3. In Thunderbird JAWS would read the window title for the dialog that pops up while a message is being sent, now it doesn't. 2 and 3 makes me wonder what else is JAWS not speaking that it should be. For now, I'm going back to JAWS 2022. Gene... |

Tell me about it! Vispero aren't the only ones that do that.

I'm just very thankful that Vispero allows you to have as many version of JAWS installed you want. It's very easy to reconfigure back to JAWS 2022 to be the primary screen reader. Gene... On 10/26/2022 9:54 AM, Joseph Machise wrote:

Yes, having as many versions of JAWS on a pc is a wonderful asset. As an example, earlier this year, I added Brian Hartgen's Leasey script package and, at that time, added the scripts to JFW2021 rather than to 2022 to get comfortable with them. Switching back and forth is a great capability with JAWS. As for Joe's complaint, I'm not a software developer but I can understand where fixing some code can (unintentionally) mess up something else. Actually, I'm amazed how JAWS (and any screen reader, for that matter) work as well as they do given the moving targets they have to deal with. Frankly, I often wonder how the guys/gals they write the programs can keep up with all of the changes they have to deal with. |

Yeah, before I lost my vision I was a software developer so I know all about how easy it can be to break things when you add, enhance, or fix other things.
