Freedom Scientific Releases JAWS 12


First Windows® Screen Reader Supporting Contracted Braille Input


(St. Petersburg, Florida ? October 25, 2010) ? Freedom Scientific today
announced the release of JAWS® for Windows version 12, including JAWS
BrailleIn?, a powerful new feature that enables users who prefer typing in
Braille to use contracted Braille in common Microsoft applications such as
Internet Explorer and Word. JAWS 12 includes a new Virtual Ribbon feature
which provides a fast way to navigate the Ribbon Menus that Microsoft uses
in Office 2007 and Windows 7. JAWS 12 also replaces the Configuration
Manager with a new Settings Center. The Settings Center allows easy access
to all JAWS settings and includes a search box to instantly locate and
adjust the desired settings.

?This release represents a huge step in productivity for Braille users,?
says Eric Damery, Vice President of Software Product Management for Freedom
Scientific. ?Many expert Braille readers are much faster and more accurate
typing on a Perkins-style keyboard than on a QWERTY keyboard, and they will
be more efficient using JAWS 12 with applications like Word, Outlook,
Internet Explorer, Notepad, and WordPad. The BrailleIn feature instantly
back translates the Braille input, displaying text on the PC screen, so
parents and teachers can follow along as their students type in Braille. The
new Virtual Ribbon Menu has also been very well received by our customers
during the beta phase of this release and will greatly reduce the learning
curve for users upgrading to new versions of Office and Windows 7.?

The upgrade is an SMA release and can be downloaded as either 32-bit or
64-bit versions from the
