Nope. No 7. Actually, what was said was maybe 8. For sure 9 and 10, but maybe 8. So right now, there's actually no guarantee that you'll even have it as an 8 user. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter Holdstock" <peterholdstock@xxxxxxx>

The Itunes support will be in JAWS 8 and 9 as well. Not sure if he mentioned 7.

Does the new release have anything that will help with older versions of jaws like jaws 7.1? Thanks, Judith ----- Original Message ----- From: "Yardbird" <yardbird@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

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.

I'm excited about the possible patch for Jaws 8 and 9 and iTunes.
