research-it will never be always fixed because when a page changes, the research-it in jaws will always break. i think it should be scrapped and make room for real fixes.
just my opinion. Legend has it that on Monday 7/25/2011 02:54 PM, Kenny Peyatt said: I like this new jaws update. It works great. I wish they would fix the mlb scores in research it. check out my sendspace offerings at: http://www.sendspace.com/folder/i7xwg4

Bill,
I do use Research It almost every day to check stock quotes and to use Wictionary/Wikipedia. Those are elements that the word "research" seem appropriate. Somehow the word "research" does not bring up sport scores in my mind. But then it's an opinion, after all. Dave Carlson From my Dell Latitude 630, currently not nearly close enough for my comfortto my Audio Recording and Mixing Studios, San Francisco Bay Area. But I'll try to remedy that situation. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bill Spiry" <aspiry@...> To: "'The Jaws for Windows support list.'" <jfw@...> Sent: Monday, July 25, 2011 20:15 Subject: RE: jaws update: I find Research it extremely useful. -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounces@...

the effort and time wasted on a feature which is particular just to Americans, is firstly useless, and secondarily shows how much FS cares about its international users.

FS should perhaps consider scrapping Research-It totally from the next JAWS

upgrade. As an international customer, I find no significantly added value of Research-It to my use of JAWS. I can use the various search engines on the internet for whatever I could otherwise painstakingly accomplish with Research-It. I cannot speak for the american users, But Research-It has been an unfair wrestler, since its introduction into JAWS. Is this OK? I wonder!!! Regards, smart

hi:
good luck on that one. I presume we will no longer have sports scores. maybe in jaws 13 they will magically return as a big feature for wanting jaws 13. howard wolcott -------------------------------------------------- From: "Kenny Peyatt" <p.wildcat1234@...> Sent: Monday, July 25, 2011 3:54 PM To: <jfw@...> Subject: jaws update: I like this new jaws update.

I'm not a big complainer, but I would just like to see things that worked in previous versions to still work in newer versions. In other words, if it's not broken, don't fix it.

Especially as there are better third-party programs available which do a much better job than Freedom Scientifics' attempt called ResearchIt., EdSharp, being one of them.

Freedom Scientific, should stop adding useless humps to a camel that is already overloaded and which is groaning more and more under the weight. Soon, the beast will not be able to stand up and carry the weight. If they had the guts to do so, they would not release another version of JAWS containing useless and irrelevant functions and utilities, but, instead, concentrate on fixing many of the major bugs and problems that we have all been complaining about for the last few versions. But, of course, because they lack the political will to take such a brave decision, they lack the moral fiber and guts to put such a decision into effect. So, do not hold your breath. Oh! As for them not counting Version 12 as an upgrade, they will behave in the same way as Microsoft did over Vista, that is, they will act as if there was nothing wrong with Version12, except to say, we will hope to do better with the next version release. Yes! And the rest! hahahahahaha! Just like we should believe that pigs and elephants can fly and there is a month of Sundays!

Dave,

I was curious why you invoked EdSharp, an application I've read about but never used. For anyone interested, EdSharp's equivalent to JAWS's Research It is described in detail at http://empowermentzone.com/EdSharp.htm#A13 Look for the Web Client Utilities link. I'm guessing that Freedom Scientific views Research It as a selling point, just as iPhone apps are a selling point for what would otherwise be just a phone. It might pull in new customers, good for business but more positively, also a way of encouraging increasing numbers of visually impaired people to take this step toward independence. I'd like to say that I wish we didn't see Research It and upgrade of job application compatibility as an either/or proposition, but FS tech support people often say that fixing this or that problem is a question of priorities. Resources are limited. I almost never use Research It. For definitions, I prefer my installed Random House Webster's. for Wiki-type research, I prefer to combine Wiki information with other options available through google. Stock information is superior at other websites. As for sports scores, is anyone really willing to say they're spending all the money they pay for JAWS in order to find out what happened in baseball the day before?

And let's not forget IEMax, a free application that accomplishes pretty much the same thing as Research It.

ai am tiring a bit of this ResearchIt debate. I have to say, though, that you are right that sports scores are readily available. But usually the score is buried somewhere in a table that requires a lot of fingering around to get the score. That was what I like about ResearchIt--it gave the score period.
