For instance, different fonts or colors might be applied to specific text that is part of a chart or dashboard to indicate the status of an option. The new Smart Glance feature analyzes the page and ranks textual content in reverse order based upon the infrequency of its color, text attribute or font usage on the page. Colors, fonts, or attributes used least will rank highest as potential points of interest, referred to as glance highlights.\r\n\r\nWhen a web page first loads, JAWS now announces the number of glance highlights along with the number of links, headings, regions, and form fields. In addition, you can configure JAWS to play a sound to indicate a glance highlight as you navigate by character, word, line, sentence, paragraph, or when reading with Say All. If a page contains glance highlights, the following new Navigation Quick keys are available:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Move to next glance highlight:\u00a0<strong>Y<\/strong><\/li>\r\n \t<li>Move to prior glance highlight:\u00a0<strong>SHIFT+Y<\/strong><\/li>\r\n \t<li>Display a list of all glance highlights on the page:\u00a0<strong>INSERT+CTRL+Y<\/strong><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nExamples of glance highlights can be found on the Amazon website. For instance, if you go to Amazon.com and search for a product, the product search results page contains several glance highlights for certain areas of the page including &#8220;Results,&#8221; &#8220;More results,&#8221; or &#8220;Need Help.&#8221; This text visually stands out, but since it is not an actual heading, it would not be found when using\u00a0<strong>H<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0<strong>SHIFT+H<\/strong>\u00a0to move by heading. You can use\u00a0<strong>Y<\/strong>\u00a0to move through the smart glance highlights, or display a list by pressing\u00a0<strong>INSERT+CTRL+Y<\/strong>\u00a0where you can select one to move to.\r\n\r\nAnother example of a glance highlight can be found on the Freedom Scientific home page. If you press\u00a0<strong>Y<\/strong>, you move directly to the text, &#8220;Call Today,&#8221; where you will find the main Freedom Scientific phone number.\r\n\r\nTo configure Smart Glance settings, open Settings Center (<strong>INSERT+6<\/strong>), expand the Web\/HTML\/PDFs group, and then expand the Smart Glance group. You can then configure the following:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li><strong>Indicate Smart Glance highlights<\/strong>: Lets you determine how JAWS indicates glance highlights. You can choose to have JAWS announce the number of glance highlights when the page loads (selected by default), alert you to glance highlights as you navigate by playing a sound, indicate glance highlights both when the page loads and as you navigate, or turn off all glance highlight indication.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Sensitivity<\/strong>: Set this option to High to increase the sensitivity for determining a glance highlight. With a higher sensitivity, more results are displayed by also analyzing smaller text segments for special text attributes.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Include elements:<\/strong>\u00a0Lets you choose whether or not links, headings, or form fields are included when analyzing pages for glance highlights. Even though there are navigation quick keys for moving to these specific elements, you may want to include these so you can use a single keystroke to quickly move to all useful elements on the page. By default, only fields marked as invalid or required are included.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nYou can also press\u00a0<strong>INSERT+V<\/strong>\u00a0while on a web page to open Quick Settings and change the Smart Glance highlight indication option.\r\n<h3 id=\"WavesMax\">Solution for Dell Waves Max Audio Issues<\/h3>\r\nChanges were made in the Eloquence, Vocalizer Expressive, and Microsoft Mobile speech synthesizer drivers to fix increased memory usage issues caused by Waves Max audio. This application is often used on Dell computers. If you previously disabled the Waves Max application to resolve these performance issues , you can now reenable it. This is only necessary if you want your computer to automatically begin using a specific audio output device as soon as you connect it, such as headphones.\r\n<h3 id=\"ILM\">Improved ILM Authorization Access<\/h3>\r\nThe file location for the JAWS, ZoomText, and Fusion ILM authorization files have been moved to a location where users no longer need administrative permission to authorize on their own system.\r\n<h3 id=\"SmartNav\">New Tables Only Option for Smart Navigation<\/h3>\r\nUsers are faced with an increased need to work with complex web forms, tables, and even applications that run inside a web browser. Our existing Smart Navigation feature offers a more efficient way to navigate in web-based applications with the Virtual Cursor, as the\u00a0<strong>LEFT<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>RIGHT ARROW<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0<strong>CTRL+LEFT<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>CTRL+RIGHT ARROW<\/strong>\u00a0commands move by control instead of character and word. This makes Navigation such as moving across toolbars, tab strips, and navigation links more like navigating around a desktop application. Currently, the different options for this setting are Controls, Controls and Tables, or Off. This means that you could only activate the Smart Navigation for Tables together with Controls.\r\n\r\nIn JAWS and Fusion 2023, there is now a new Tables option which only enables Smart Navigation when you are focused inside a table. You can adjust the Smart Navigation settings through the Startup Wizard, Settings Center, or Quick Settings. The new Tables option offers the same Smart Navigation experience inside tables as it does when set to Controls and Tables while keeping our regular Navigation outside tables.\r\n\r\nIf focused inside a table, the\u00a0<strong>RIGHT<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>LEFT ARROW<\/strong>\u00a0keys move between columns while the\u00a0<strong>UP<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>DOWN ARROW<\/strong>\u00a0keys move between rows. If you press\u00a0<strong>RIGHT ARROW<\/strong>\u00a0to move from the last column in the current row to the first column of the next row, or\u00a0<strong>LEFT ARROW<\/strong>\u00a0to move from the first column in the current row to the last column in the prior row, JAWS plays a sound to indicate the new row. When focus moves out of the table, the\u00a0<strong>LEFT<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>RIGHT ARROW<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0<strong>CTRL+LEFT<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>CTRL+RIGHT ARROW<\/strong>\u00a0keys move by character or word like they always have.\r\n<h3 id=\"ARM64\">ARM64 Support<\/h3>\r\n<strong>Important:<\/strong>\u00a0JAWS does not run as expected on ARM64 computers following the Microsoft 365 ARM64 Office update from October 27, 2022. Refer to this\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/support.freedomscientific.com\/Support\/TechnicalSupport\/Bulletin\/1793\">Technical Support Bulletin<\/a>\u00a0for more details.\r\n\r\nSupport for ARM64 is now officially provided in JAWS 2023. The JAWS 2023 installer will recognize if you are using a device with an ARM processor like the Microsoft Surface Pro X, and will automatically install the ARM version of JAWS. ARM support for ZoomText and Fusion will come at a later date. Following are a few frequently asked questions.\r\n<h4>Can I use ZoomText or Fusion on my ARM64 device?<\/h4>\r\nNo. ARM64 is currently only supported with JAWS.\u00a0<strong>ZoomText and Fusion (magnification software) for low vision users are not yet supported<\/strong>.\r\n<h4>What device is required?<\/h4>\r\nAn ARM64 based device which is a computer with an ARM64 processor. An example is the Microsoft Surface Pro X.\r\n<h4>What Operating System is required?<\/h4>\r\nWindows 11 is the minimum supported Operating System.\r\n<h4>What braille devices are currently supported?<\/h4>\r\nAt this time, only the Freedom Scientific Focus Braille Displays are supported. Additional braille display support will be added as we work with our third-party partners.\r\n<h4>What speech synthesizers are currently supported?<\/h4>\r\nAt this time, Eloquence, Vocalizer Expressive, SAPI 5x, SAPI 5x 64-bit, and Microsoft Mobile synthesizers are supported. Additional synthesizer support will be added as we work with our third-party partners.\r\n<h4>What features are currently not available?<\/h4>\r\nThe following features are still under development:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Citrix remote<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Convenient OCR from a scanner or camera<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Dongle authorization<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h4>What applications are currently not supported?<\/h4>\r\nWhile on ARM64 devices, JAWS does not currently support applications compiled as 32-bit ARM. At the moment, Microsoft still has a few applications that have not yet been addressed, but we expect this to be resolved in future updates from Microsoft and Freedom Scientific.\r\n\r\nThe following are examples of these applications:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Windows Mail<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Windows Calculator<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Windows Weather<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Windows News<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h4>What is the recommended version of Office 365?<\/h4>\r\nOffice 365 was originally installed on ARM devices as 32-bit. This 32-bit version can experience some sluggishness. For the best performance, we recommend installing the latest 64-bit version of Office designed specifically for ARM64 devices.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<h3>JAWS is the World\u2019s Most Popular Windows Screen Reader.<\/h3>","protected":false},"featured_media":1172,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[35,36],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-1171","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-blindness","7":"product_cat-software-blindness","9":"first","10":"instock","11":"taxable","12":"shipping-taxable","13":"product-type-simple"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cecitech.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/product\/1171","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cecitech.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cecitech.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cecitech.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1171"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cecitech.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/1172"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cecitech.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1171"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cecitech.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fproduct_brand&post=1171"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cecitech.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fproduct_cat&post=1171"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cecitech.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fproduct_tag&post=1171"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
