Jim, I tried yesterday, and I couldn't either.
Cheers

Hi,
Strangely, I fired Chrome up over the weekend with JAWS 12, and I couldn't
read anything. I'll check again. I was using Vista. Does that matter?

Subject: Jaws 12 works with Google Chrome
Sorry for the cross posting, but as this fundamentally affects, or at least
can, how most of us interact with the web, I thought I'd share.
I fired up the latest Google chrome, as I do from time to time, to play
around with it, and I noticed that jaws 12 started reading me the page.
First I thought, oh cute, the virtual cursor recognition finally got smart
enough to recognize the chrome window as non-static text, but then I said,
hmm, that's reading awfully well, so I hit h and navigated by header, and I
went to different URLs, and they all read correctly.
Further investigation shows that jaws is aliasing chrome to Firefox. The
Firefox scripts, in fact, are what is loaded if you do an
insert+q.
So, apparently no longer is NVDA the only windows screen reader that
supports chrome.
Good to see, I thought.
Btw, I checked, and sure enough, the line:
chrome=Firefox
appears in the default confignames.ini shipping with jaws.
Would have been nice to know ... just a thought.
Take care,
Sina
