Snore... so what...
Let's get back to the Henter Joyce original mission statement of "Job
Access
with Speech."
Let's get good solid access to MS-word, MS-outlook, MS-excel and
MS-PowerPoint. OH and did I mention Windows?

Hi Mark,
Did I say anything to disparage this new feature? I don't think so. I
said I don't use ITunes, and I think I said that I could see how this
would be great for those who do. Okay? I'm really glad about it.
Honest. Just not an ITunes kinda guy, myself. That wasn't a dismissal.
No way. Thanks.

Well, yeah, but see, most of the rest of the universe is using iTunes
as their media player of choice, and so any time we blind users have
access to the same mainstream software is a major step forward, in my
book. So that's why everyone's making a big deal of the iTunes thing.
The new Tandem feature is going to be great for all users b/c I
remember having an issue a couple years ago with a website and the
JAWS cursor with onmouseover links. The tech support person had no
problem and I was the one with the problem that couldn't be
duplicated. Now, if the Tandem feature had been there then, things
would have been sorted out. so this is definitely a major step
forward along those lines as well.

I just listened to the FSCast, too. I'm not an ITunes user, although
I certainly can appreciate the difference this scripting I think
there's some built-in scripting in Jaws 10, anyway)and the MSAA on
Apple's side will make
with Jaws, because I once explored the site out of curiosity and
realized
that without buying the JTunes scripts,there wasn't a chance in the
world
that I could even familiarize myself with the site's layout and
features.
So
that's great, for those who will use it.
But the feature they're making the big fuss about is this Tandem
function that will allow someone, for instance a Jaws tech support
person, to directly connect with a Jaws user's computer and actually
operate it, tweak settings and scripts, and all sorts of helpful
things. Just plain Jaws users
will be able to also use the feature for free acting as the "controller"
to
help a Jaws-using friend if it's only occasional usage, or pay a
quarterly
or annual subscription fee. But for the user, the main advantage will be
that when you call FS tech support, they can connect with you and do
stuff
on your own computer, and you can continue to operate from your side, as
well, if that's called for. The podcast explains very clearly how it
works.
In this case, of course, the Jaws customer doesn't have to pay any fee.
FS
is paying on the support side, the "controller's" fee it's called.
I remember a few years ago I got frustrated about an FS tech support
person not being able to duplicate a problem I was describing, in
this case a couple of bugs that he had a hard time understanding and
couldn't duplicate
on is own computer. I remember saying something like that audible.com
had
something like this in place for years, and had often helped me with
difficult issues, so what was the big deal for FS? Of course there were
reasonable-sounding answers about the complexity of a screen reader
being
involved or something, so I just let it go. But this ought to be really
nice
for some users, especially newer ones but not exclusively so.

I can't wait for the new JAWS beta, just for the iTunes support! :)
Definitely worth it.

The September FSCast is now out. This month, Eric Damery returns
