Freedom Scientific Releases JAWS 17
Smart Navigation, Scripting for Web Pages and Web Apps, and Liblouis
Braille Translator
(St. Petersburg, Florida – October 29, 2015) – Freedom Scientific today
announced the release of version 17 of JAWS® for Windows, the world's
premier screen reading software. Significant new features include:
Smart Navigation™, a more efficient way to interact with complex web
pages and web apps
Domain-specific scripting, bringing the power of JAWS scripting to the web
Liblouis Braille Translator enhancing usage with Unified English Braille
Navigating complex web content such as pages often found in banking,
shopping, or corporate sites, is a challenge for anyone using access
technology. Today, JAWS 17 introduces new techniques via the Smart
Navigation feature to help users be more efficient as they access this
content.
“The ability to move through tables using just the arrow keys, or to
skip past an entire menu bar with a single down arrow, are just two
examples of how this will benefit users,” says Eric Damery, Vice
President of Software Product Management. “Add the capability to script
for products such as SharePoint, and JAWS further expands the employment
opportunities for visually impaired people worldwide.”
The JAWS 17 upgrade is an SMA release and can be downloaded as either a
32- or 64-bit version from the JAWS downloads web page. DVD shipments to
SMA holders and new product customers will commence on November 2, 2015.
