list of 19 items
• Changed the keystroke to access the Quick Keys layer in Google Docs to
INSERT+SPACEBAR
followed by G . Once this layer is active, you can use keystrokes
to quickly move to specific elements in a document such as H for headings, T
for tables, C
for comments, and more. To see a full list of available commands,
press INSERT+SPACEBAR followed by G while focused in Google Docs, and then
press QUESTION
MARK .
• Addressed issues with JAWS not reading as expected when navigating a table of
contents in
Google Docs using CTRL+UP ARROW and CTRL+DOWN ARROW to read
by paragraph.
• Added support for horizontal lines inserted into Google documents as
separators.
• When navigating by word in a cell in Google Sheets, resolved an issue where
JAWS would
repeat the last word.
• Resolved an issue in Google Sheets where JAWS was not properly announcing
links that
directly followed each other on separate lines.
• Resolved an issue with JAWS not reading search results on the Windows 11
Start Screen.
• Resolved reported problems where some users were finding Navigation Quick
Keys turned on
when trying to reply to Outlook email messages.
• Resolved an issue where selecting text in Outlook using the keyboard was not
scrolling the
screen as expected, making it difficult for Fusion users or
anyone sighted using JAWS to determine what was selected.
• Addressed an issue where it was no longer possible to use JAWS to create or
edit posts in
WordPress 5.60 or later.
• Improved announcements of regions on web pages that include an
aria-roledescription
attribute.
• When navigating tables on web pages, resolved an issue where JAWS would not
always
announce row and column headers when headers were not defined by the
table author.
• Pressing the layered command INSERT+SPACEBAR followed by N now speaks the
most recent
Windows notification even when Speech On Demand is active.
• In Outlook, the JAWS keystroke for moving to the body of a message or the
notes area of a
Calendar appointment is now INSERT+ALT+GRAVE ACCENT . This
has also been updated in the JAWS Commands Search ( INSERT+SPACEBAR, J ). The
previous
keystroke, ALT+GRAVE ACCENT , is now used by Microsoft to activate
their email dictation feature.
• Made changes necessary for JAWS to properly support Mozilla Thunderbird 87
and later.
• Added JAWS support for the NLSeReader Zoomax braille display available from
the National
Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped in
the United States. Note that a system driver, available from the manufacturer,
must be
installed first before this display can be used with JAWS.
• Resolved an issue with Kofax Power PDF where JAWS would only read the first
line of a PDF
document.
• After modifying a Speech and Sounds scheme and choosing to make it the
default, addressed
an issue where it was not being saved as the default scheme
as expected.
• Medical Device Regulation numbers have been added for JAWS, ZoomText, and
Fusion releases
as of the July 2021 updates. These numbers are displayed in
the About dialog boxes for each software product.
• Removed the Convert Currency Research It lookup source due to changes with
the xe.com
website which no longer allows us to retrieve information.
