Hi Roger,
It sounds like you may have found a bug in the library we wrote for Sodbeans
to communicate with JAWS. Unfortunately, I have not tested it with JAWS 9
personally. Does JAWS work correctly throughout the entire tutorial, or does
it always stop speaking when you close the tutorials window? One thing you
should try is going to the Tools menu, navigating to the "Text to Speech"
submenu and selecting "Reset Speech Engine." Hopefully, this will get JAWS
speaking again. I believe this is linked to the keyboard shortcut CTRL+F1,
but I am not 100% sure on that.
If you're in a rush, your Mac should work well as our VoiceOver
compatibility is much better than our JAWS compatibility, so hopefully it
won't give you any problems.
Jeff.
