Hi Dave; I couldn't add to the default dictionary most of the time. Then all of a sudden it would work properly and then all of a suddenwham, no go! Unfortunately the no go was more often than the go! Take care.

As they updated J11 things seemed to get better but, although the loss of focus doesn't happen quite as often, J11 still loses focus regularly.I have spoken to tech support & written my complaints but, since they can't duplicate the problem they can't or won't help. As I stated earlier this happens on more than 1 computer & more than 1 operting system. I don't use my computer all the heavily so I don't think it's an issue of having to many processes or windows open. 1 other thing about J11 that I have never been able to get answer for is the default dictionary issues I have in all builds even though I could duplicate the problem while in a tandem session or on the phone with tech support. Okay, enough of the rant. LOL Take care.

For , no reason! It will happen just by doing something as simple as clicking on something on the desktop. When I invoke the Jaws key, windows key, + F4 keystroke, then when I try to restart any version of Jaws with its respective hotkey, no version of Jaws will load. I have to do a hard shutdown & reboot before I get Jaws back again. I had this happen while I had Freedom Scientific on the phone for a different reason and they couldn't figure out / explain why it would do this either. I thought, at first, that I would be very happy with J12 but, it seems to be doing the same old crap the J11 did! Losing focus & just quit working while attempting the simplest of tasks'. I have written them & spoken with them, to no avail. Hopefully somehow this activity, or lack of, will get cleared up. Oh, by the way, this is happening on 2 different desktop computers running XPSP3 Home, 1 laptop running XPSP3 Pro, & 1 desktop computer running XPSP3 MediaCenter. Take care.
