But Jonathan claimed that FS is right on schedule to release the final public 
version of JAWS 10 on November 1, which does not leave them much time between 
now and then to release another beta version.  So unless FS is planning to 
delay the public roll out of JAWS 10, I'm skeptical that they will release a 
third beta version. Top management is probably under pressure to go live with 
the public version of JAWS 10 on time, even if it still contains bugs.  After 
all, they still have not fixed bugs that have existed since earlier versions of 
JAWS.

  No, there is most likely another beta release, according to Eric, in October.

  Or maybe they'll just save up all the bugs so that they have an excuse to 
roll out JAWS 11.  Beta 2 is probably the last beta version  of JAWS 10 before 
it is released to the general public, tentatively scheduled for  November 1.

    They were probably concentrating more on jaws tandum and itunes support for 
this particular release.  maybe they'll hammer out some of the bugs for beta 3 
or rc 1.  what ever it will be called.  At 07:24 PM 9/25/2008, you wrote:



    The 2 bugs I reported in Beta 1 don't seem to be fixed in Beta 2.  I still 
can't use the Individual Voice Adjustment dialog to set punctuation for the 
individual voices.  I still have to use the Global Voice Adjustment dialog if I 
want to change from the default punctuation level.
     
    The JAWS Dictionary still doesn't list all of the speech synthesizers that 
JAWS supports.  The result is that if I use one of the unlisted synthesizers, 
such as DECtalk Access32, the exceptions I entered are not spoken.  This is 
true even when I leave the selection on All Synthesizers.
     
    Very disappointing!  I like the addition of the Tandem feature, but I do 
wish they would fix the features they broke.  I read through the list of fixes, 
and it seemed rather small.
