Jaws 11 beta has been released.

Aug 31, 2009 | Uncategorized | 1 comment

I think it’s fair to say that users of screen readers await new versions like a child awaits Christmas. It’s always great to see what’s going to happen next. What technology will be made accessible this time? What will they think of this year. will they fix the problems that we found in the last version. There are just so many things that can happen. Of course, I for one usually get let down. There have been problems with the support of Lotus notes 7.03 and 8 in Jaws for over three years now. I’ve also had problems with Jaws while using firefox and it doesnlt look like these two things will be fixed any time soon. However, my gripes aside, I’ll still download this Beta of Jaws 11 with the same anticipation and hope as I’ve done during every other version.

Visit the FreedomScientific.com website to read more and get the download. You can also listen to FSCast with Eric Damery and Jonathan Mosen for a nice overview of the new features you can expect in Jaws 11.

As always, I’ll provide updates and problem reports here while the beta is still out there.

    Hello Darragh:

    Have you tested other screen readers in Lotus Notes 8.0? Could you tell for example whether Window-Eyes or Hal works better in it?

    I use it during my work and would apreciate to know if it’s worth trying other solution than JAWS.

    Thank you
    Cleverson
