Say It All with JAWSR 8.0 and RealSpeakT Solo
(St. Petersburg, Florida, November 28, 2006) - The latest version of JAWS
for WindowsR makes using screen reading technology easier on the ears.
The Say All feature in JAWS 8.0 allows users to immediately switch from the
current Eloquence synthesized voice to the more natural-sounding RealSpeak
Solo
voices from Nuance that are included with each JAWS 8.0 license.
"While the responsiveness of Eloquence is still preferred for general
navigation and use of applications, it is a real pleasure to have these
great sounding
voices when listening to a book or longer passage," said Eric Damery, Vice
President of Software Product Management.
JAWS 8.0 was released November 17, 2006, and information has been posted to
the
Freedom Scientific Web site.
All single and multi-user Software Maintenance Agreement (SMA) holders will
receive the upgrade by the first week of December.
In addition to the available languages that RealSpeak Solo provides, JAWS
8.0 also includes support for Internet Explorer 7 (IE 7), along with the new
Microsoft
Office Word 2007 and Microsoft Office Excel 2007, scheduled to release this
quarter.
"The initial feedback from users who have experienced JAWS 8.0 with IE 7 has
been outstanding," Damery said. "The combination of navigation and improved
responsiveness, along with some of the newly added features in IE 7 and
Mozilla FirefoxR1.5 and 2.0, are really helping to improve the user
experience
while browsing."
The JAWS 8.0 package includes the RealSpeak Solo, SAPI 5 synthesizer CD. All
the user has to do to install the voices is load the CD in the CD-ROM drive
and follow the simple instructions to complete the installation. For English
speaking markets, there are seven English voices included and two Spanish
voices. Distributors will provide languages to other markets as they become
available.
JAWS 8.0 also includes updated training material on CD, on the Web, and even
an updated Getting Started that ships in all new packages. DAISY training
material
users will benefit from:

strings of text, phone numbers, equations, and more.
