Freedom Scientific Releases JAWS 15
Touch Screen Support for Windows 8 and 8.1; Also includes New Vocalizer
Expressive Synthesizer
(St. Petersburg, Florida - October 28, 2013) - Freedom Scientific today
announced the release of version 15 of JAWS® for Windows, the world's premier
screen reading software. This release includes support for Windows 8
Professional on both Tablets and Touch Screen computers. JAWS 15 has been
designed to give blind users control when working with traditional desktop
applications like Office 2013 along with the new Windows 8 Start Screen and the
Modern apps such as News, Weather, Email, and Internet Explorer 10.
With the addition of the JAWS Touch Cursor, users can easily explore the screen
by moving a finger around to learn the layout, hearing the items as they pass
over them. By using gestures similar to those used on smartphones today, JAWS
users can also navigate by object on touch screen devices such as the Microsoft
Surface Pro.
"This release offers significant breakthroughs in accessibility for screen
reader users," said Eric Damery, Vice President of Software Product Management
for Freedom Scientific. "Along with the Touch Screen support of Windows 8,
we've included Vocalizer Expressive in dozens of languages at no additional
cost, offering a new level in human-sounding, responsive synthesized speech.
These advances, in addition to all the other features and enhancements being
introduced this year, have been enthusiastically received by JAWS users around
the world."
"Today's devices, like those running Windows 8, are increasingly being designed
around more natural input methods like touch," says Rob Sinclair, Chief
Accessibility Officer at Microsoft. "We are pleased to see assistive technology
products like JAWS 15 embracing these new innovations and extending these
experiences to blind users."
The JAWS 15 upgrade is an SMA release and can be downloaded as either a 32- or
64-bit version from the JAWS downloads page. DVD shipments to SMA holders and
new product customers will commence on November 1, 2013.
