I tried installing this newest update of JAWS this morning, and it totally
messed up my computer. It took me a long time to get my computer to even
come up with JAWS, and I don't think my computer is right now, but I have it
working. I'm almost afraid to shut it down tonight and try to restart it
again in the morning.

Enhancements in JAWS 2019.1904.60 (April 2019)
The following is a list of improvements made in JAWS 2019 between the March
2019 update and the April 2019 update.

To download the latest release, visit the
Downloads web page.
You must be logged on as an administrator to install this software.

Improved Heading Navigation When Using the Numbers Row

For years, users have been able to use 1 through 6 on the numbers row to
move to specific heading levels on web pages. For instance, 1 for level 1
headings,
2 for level 2 headings, 3 for level 3 headings, and so on. However, this
type of navigation only allowed you to move to headings equal or lower than
the
level you were trying to move by. For example, if you attempted to move to a
level 3 heading, but the very next heading was a level 2, JAWS would
announce:
"No more headings at level 3 in this section," and would not move past the
level 2 heading.

Beginning with the April 2019 update, you can now move to any given heading
level on a page and if it is under a different higher precedence heading,
the
immediately higher precedence heading will be read so you know that the new
heading belongs to a different section. For example, if you attempt to move
to a level 3 heading which causes you to jump past a level 2 heading, JAWS
will announce the level 2 heading prior to announcing the level 3 heading so
you know you have moved into a new section. You can also choose to have JAWS
play a sound to indicate when you move into a new section or you can switch
back to the prior behavior which restricted heading navigation to the
current section.

To configure how JAWS navigates headings when using the numbers 1 through 6,
open Settings Center (INSERT+6 on the numbers row), type "heading" into the
Search edit box, select the "Heading Navigation Using 1-6" option, and then
use the SPACEBAR to choose the setting you want. Alternatively, open Quick
Settings (INSERT+V) from your browser and configure the "Heading Navigation"
setting.

Support for MathType Content When Reading in Office 365 Word Documents

You can now use JAWS or Fusion to read and study math problems in Word
documents created using the MathType software from Design Science. To use
this feature,
you must do the following:

. Make sure you are running the April 2019 release of JAWS or Fusion along
with Microsoft Word from Office 365.
. Install MathType from
Wiris.com
and activate the software as a trial or actual license.
. In Settings Center, make sure the "Use Accessibility Driver for Screen
Capture" check box is selected.

When you encounter a math equation or formula in a document, JAWS reads the
problem and then says "Math Content." You can then press INSERT+SPACEBAR
followed
by EQUALS to open the JAWS Math Viewer so you can study the equation in
greater detail.

Once the Math Viewer is opened, you can navigate individual parts of an
equation like variables, terms, coefficients, exponents, etc. As you
navigate to
the various components, pressing DOWN ARROW will let you drill down into and
navigate within that level of the equation using LEFT and RIGHT ARROW.
Pressing
UP ARROW will move you back to the prior level. In addition, if you have a
Braille display and JAWS is set to United States English or Unified English
Braille Grade 1 or Grade 2, the math equation or formula will be displayed
in Nemeth Braille. Pressing ESC will close the Math Viewer and return to the
document.

See our
MathType Sample Demonstration document
for examples of how JAWS and Fusion can enable students to access math
content.

Visit the
Design Science
website for more details about MathType.

Easy Access to Answer or Disconnect From a Skype Call Using the Desktop
Application Version 8.42 or Higher

In Skype for Desktop 8.42 and later, JAWS or Fusion now provides keystrokes
for answering or disconnecting a call from any application as well as moving
focus into the Skype main window. Note that these keystrokes are only
available in the Skype for Desktop application. They will not work in the
Skype for
Windows 10 universal app from the Microsoft store or the Skype for Business
app.

To answer an incoming call, press INSERT+SPACEBAR, y followed by UP ARROW.
To disconnect from a call, press INSERT+SPACEBAR, y followed by DOWN ARROW.
To move focus directly into the Skype window, press INSERT+SPACEBAR, Y
followed by S.

Other Changes
. When performing the monthly updates of JAWS, ZoomText, and Fusion, the
shortcut keystroke on the Desktop Icon used to launch the application, will
no
longer be removed during the update process.
. JAWS now offers localizations for Swedish and Italian when performing a
full install.
. In the Amazon Kindle app, JAWS and Fusion now supports reading and
navigating inside tables.
. Resolved an issue where you could not use the keyboard to interact with
the controls in the Display Options dialog box in the Amazon Kindle app.
. If Track Changes is turned on in a Word document, you can now use
INSERT+SHIFT+R to list revisions in footnotes, endnotes, and comments in
addition to
the main document. Note that this command only lists revisions in the
currently active pane. For example, pressing INSERT+SHIFT+R from the
Document pane
will list revisions in the main document while pressing this keystroke from
within a footnote will only list revisions found in footnotes.
. If a word document contained more than 150 revisions, resolved an issue
where the number of revisions was not being reported correctly when using
INSERT+SHIFT+R.
. The "Document and Web Pages Automatically Read When Loaded" option in
Settings Center is now enabled by default in PowerPoint. When you start a
presentation
and move to the next or previous slide, JAWS automatically begins reading
the current slide.
. In Excel, JAWS and Fusion now indicates in both speech and Braille if a
cell contains a data type.
. Resolved an issue where pressing INSERT+E was not announcing the default
button in a Chrome dialog box.
. Addressed a reported issue where the aria-required attribute was not being
indicated as expected in Internet Explorer while navigating with the Virtual
Cursor.
. Addressed reported issues where JAWS and Fusion was not consistently
reading elements that use the aria-describedby" or title attributes while
tabbing
through a page.
. If you are inside a table in a Google Docs document and you press
INSERT+SPACEBAR, Q to activate the Quick Nav mode, you can now use the ARROW
keys to
move to each cell. You can also use CTRL+UP/DOWN ARROW to move to the top or
bottom of the current column, CTRL+LEFT/RIGHT ARROW to move to the beginning
or end of the current row, and CTRL+HOME/END to move to the beginning or end
of the table.
. For users of the Focus Blue Braille Display, you can now press a Selector
button along with the Left or Right NAV Mode button to toggle speech on or
off for the corresponding NAV Rocker. When enabled, JAWS will speak as you
scroll by line, sentence, or paragraph. This setting is off by default for
both
NAV Rockers.
. Added additional information to installer error messages such as when you
include an invalid language code when using the /language command line
argument.
. You can now press INSERT+F8 in the Skype for Desktop application to
display a list of JAWS keystrokes specific to Skype. You can then select the
action
you want to perform and press ENTER.
. The "Prompt to Confirm when Exiting JAWS" option has been added to the Run
JAWS Settings page of the Startup Wizard.
. When using Braille in a WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation) app, JAWS
now includes the name and type of the current window on the braille display
to
make it easier for Braille users to know when a new window opens.
. In Microsoft Teams, addressed issues with reading chat messages as well as
removed extra speech that was heard when attempting to join a meeting.
. Added necessary changes to JAWS to support Gaaiho Doc, Nuance Power PDF,
and Nuance Power PDF once these products are released by Nuance.
. Improved how JAWS reads incoming text when connected to remote sites using
SecureCRT or other SSH software such as Windows TelNet.
. Added support for the latest Remote Desktop Terminal Services client from
Microsoft.
. Due to issues with the Weather Research It lookup source, it will no
longer appear in the Research It dialog box (INSERT+SPACEBAR, R) by default
until
a solution is found. In addition, the Amazon Product Search lookup source
has also been removed due to ongoing issues which we are continuing to
investigate.
