Well Dave, "Cy" sure could imply either cynical or senility. (LOLLOLLOL)

Dad Blame Fs, I sure get fed up with a new release which has broken some of
what used to work in the previous release. 

With the oncoming thunderous rush of the cell phone/hand held computers many
of the needs of the average blind person can be met without the need for a
very costly screen reader for the computer.

Also, Apple and some other unmentionable open source screen readers surely
must be having some impact on FS future viability as 'God of the Micro
World".

Perhaps FS's clay feet are beginning to crack? ("crack" as in crumble, not
as in being hacked)

I am really excited with Code Factory's introduction of a screen reader for
the Android phones.

As I have said for a good decade, with the aging Baby Boomers and their
diminishing eye sight accessibility will become more and more common place
in many, many things including the micro computer.

Does "Cy" imply Cynical? I think JAWS 12 is as good as it's going to get. We
can only hope that JAWS 13 fixes more than it adds.

 

And all the while they never bother working on OB9, which is a disaster,
aside from the Pearl. Oops. Just drifted off-topic again.

Dave,

This is why I think I will stick with JAWS 11, latest build as it seems to
work pretty well.

Perhaps by the time V 13 comes out FS will have fixed 12 including the
things they have broken in 12, original release, with some of their "fixes".

Very instructive and I also just learned that the Currency Research Feature
is not working in my latest iteration of JAWS 12.  :-)  Mitch

Cy and list, just a reminder, when using the research it widget, you can get
help on the input format by tabbing once after selecting the particular
research operative.  This can be helpful in being sure you use the correct
format for the item.

By Golly Miss Molly, it worked, thanks.

I was trying to use commas or semicolons as delimiters.

Nice.

You have to write:

For example.

Okay happy JFW users,

I am using JAWS 11, latest build, W7 64 bit and what the Dickens is the
proper format for the convert currency function?

I need euros to us dollars. Thanks.
