Enhancements in JAWS 2022.2206.9 (June 2022)
The following is a list of improvements made between the
April 2022 release and the June 2022 update.
Notification History
In JAWS 2021, we introduced a keystroke for quickly
announcing the most recent notification. However, due to the sheer volume of
notifications that can
potentially be received on a daily basis depending on
the applications in use, there was no easy way to review prior notifications you
may have missed.
JAWS and Fusion 2022 now allows you to display a history
of recently received notifications and gives you more control over which
notifications you hear
or whether they are displayed in braille. For example,
you may want JAWS to announce notifications from an application only if they
include specific text,
or play a sound instead of interrupting you with a
spoken message. You can even choose to exclude specific notifications from
appearing in the recent notifications
list. For instance, there may be
certain repetitive messages you may want to hear, such as notifications from
Edge confirming the loading status of a page,
but you may not want these
messages cluttering up your history.
To open the Notification History dialog box, press
INSERT+SPACEBAR, followed by N. This feature can also be accessed from the
Utilities menu in the JAWS
main window, or through the Run JAWS Manager
dialog box (INSERT+F2). Once open, focus is placed in a list containing
notifications received from Windows
and applications during the past 24
hours, as long as JAWS or Fusion was running. Use the ARROW keys to navigate and
review items in the list. Pressing
the APPLICATIONS key on the selected
notification opens a context menu where you can choose to create a rule to
customize how it is spoken or shown in
braille , or don't show the selected
notification at all in the history. When you are finished reviewing
notifications, press ESC to close the Notification
History.
You can also access the Notification History using the
Voice Assistant by saying "Hey Sharky, Notification History," or "Hey Sharky,
Notifications."
If you only want to hear the most recent notification
without opening a dialog box, press INSERT+SPACEBAR, followed by
SHIFT+N.
For more details on creating and managing your own
notification rules, refer to the Notification History topic in the JAWS
Help.

• You can now say
"Hey Sharky, Say Version" or "Hey Sharky, What Version," to get the version of
the current application. This is the same as pressing
CTRL+INSERT+V.
•
Addressed reported issues where JAWS was not working reliably with iTunes.
•
Resolved a reported issue where a script load error was displayed when
attempting to open the Math Viewer or Math Editor to view or edit an
equation.

such as a calendar, resolved an issue where JAWS was reading the entire contents
of
the dialog all at once as soon as it gained focus.
• Added a new Quick
Settings option, Indicate text inside INS and DEL Elements, which is on by
default. When enabled, JAWS or Fusion indicates inserted
or deleted text on
web pages as you navigate with the Virtual Cursor.
• In addition to web
browsers, JAWS and Fusion now announce live region updates in all applications
where they are supported. In situations where you need
to turn off these
announcements, open Settings Center and search for "Announce live region
updates." This option can be configured for all applications,
or for a
specific app or website domain.

reported issue where Forms Mode was turning off automatically instead of

the selected text to the Clipboard as expected unless
text was selected using the keyboard.

turned off, so you know when you move in to the message.

body of a new message in Outlook and you type the @ symbol followed by part of a
user's name to open the @Mentions menu, JAWS now
reads the position and total
number of names in the list of suggestions.
