Note: FSCompanion is optimized for English, as it has been trained with English documentation. This means that the answers it gives are based on English keystrokes and terminology. For the best experience, please use it in English. If you ask questions in another language, the keystrokes and descriptions it provides might not be accurate. We are working on supporting additional languages.

Automatic Language Detection

For users who read documents or web pages in various languages, there are times when authors do not use the correct language tags, which JAWS relies on by default in order to switch to the appropriate voice for a specific language.

To help with this, JAWS can now detect the language in use automatically and adjust its voice based on the written language. This feature runs entirely on your computer and does not access the Internet. To enable this option, open Settings Center, expand the Text Processing group, expand the Language processing subgroup, and press SPACEBAR on Detect Language to cycle through the available options and choose Based on AI predictions.

If you find that JAWS does not automatically switch languages in an application even when the correct voice is installed, open Settings Center while focused in the specific application and check the Detect Language option. This setting is off by default for certain applications.

EPUB Reading Improvements

EPUB is a popular format for producing textbooks and other digital publications. It is supported on a wide range of devices and eBook reading applications such as the Thorium EPUB book reader software, which works well with JAWS. When navigating an EPUB book, you use the same reading commands you would use to navigate web pages.

New Region Navigation Types

JAWS 2025 adds more specific support for EPUB files by now allowing you to use the R and SHIFT+R navigation quick keys to move to the following region types, if available in the book. JAWS will also announce the start and end of these regions as you navigate with ARROW keys or Say All (INSERT+DOWN ARROW).

• Abstract
• Acknowledgment
• Afterword
• Appendix
• Bibliography
• Chapter
• Conclusion
• Cover page
• Dedication
• Epilogue
• Errata
• Example
• Forword
• Glossary
• Index
• Introduction
• Notice
• Part
• Preface
• Prologue
• Table of Contents

Additionally, these region types, if available, will also be included in the Regions dialog box (CTRL+INSERT+R).

Back to top from Fusion and JAWS Features

Update to Fusion, ZoomText, and JAWS 2025

To enhance the update process, we made sure that moving from the 2024 to 2025 version is smooth. Upon updating, your startup settings will automatically transfer to 2025. You can check if you are using the latest version by looking at the Fusion, ZoomText, or JAWS toolbar, which now displays the version year.

Performance Improvements

With the 2025 update, we have implemented key adjustments to enhance performance, particularly in Fusion, but also affecting ZoomText. Some of the most notable improvements include:

• Better Performance in Office 365 Apps: Navigation and typing in Word are smoother, as well as opening and composing emails in Outlook. Copying and pasting large amounts of text in Word is also much quicker, reducing delays.
• Enhanced xFont Performance and Reliability: Ongoing improvements to xFont with Fusion continue to deliver a more responsive experience.
• Faster Start Times: Startup times have improved significantly, especially for users who launch ZoomText or Fusion automatically with Windows.
• Improved Stability in Windows File Explorer: Both ZoomText and Fusion now offer greater stability when running File Explorer, minimizing slowdowns.

Multi-Monitor Changes

When operating in multi-monitor mode, ZoomText can signal a monitor switch or insert an artificial boundary between the monitors to help users identify where their mouse is located. Although some found these features beneficial, we discovered that a majority of users preferred retaining the original behavior. Hence, these features are now off after the first installation.
The default values for two “Multiple Monitor Options” settings have changed.

• The “Keep the pointer from crossing the border for” setting is now off. This means you can move the mouse pointer smoothly and instantly between desktops and displays without any delay. Previously, there was a delay (ranging from 0.25 to 2 seconds) when moving the pointer between displays.
• The “Play sound cues when the pointer touches and crosses the border” setting is now off. You will not hear a sound cue when moving between desktops and displays.

If you want to restore these settings, do the following:

• On the Magnifier toolbar tab, click the Window button and then choose Settings.
• In the Multiple Monitor Options dialog box, choose Multiple Monitor Options.
• Select the border crossing and sound cue settings.
• Click OK.

AppReader

• You will notice improved performance when switching among the different tabs in the AppReader Settings dialog box while running Fusion.
• If you are using AppReader to read a Word or NotePad file and you press CTRL or ENTER to stop reading, AppReader will now continue reading when you double click on text in the document.
• In Fusion, the Reading Rate settings in AppReader's  Shared Settings tab are disabled. These settings are unavailable in Fusion.

Other Enhancements

• ZoomText has now migrated from .NET Framework to .NET Core 8.
• Some ZoomText users had trouble turning on magnification after they upgraded from Windows 11 version 23H2 to version 24H2. This has been fixed.
• Mouse echo in ZoomText and Fusion will now read browser tabs in Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome correctly when you hover your mouse over them.
• xFont now correctly appears in the Windows Settings dialog box.
• A system freeze is fixed when a camera is in use on the secondary display during ZoomText or Fusion startup.
• A shortcut for List Zones, which is part of the Reading Zones dialog box, can now be added to the Quick Access Bar.
• Freeze Views now have a minimum window size when drawing a Freeze View window around an area on the screen. This eliminates the possibility of accidentally creating a window that is too small to use.
• Command Search is a feature available in both JAWS and Fusion. It allows you to enter a full or partial description of a command whose keystrokes you do not remember. Commands that match your search are displayed in a window along with a description of the feature and associated keystrokes.
  For Fusion, Command Search has been expanded to include more magnification commands and other functionality typically used by ZoomText. For example, if you have forgotten the keystroke to toggle xFont bold on and off, you can do the following:

1. Press INSERT+SPACEBAR, J to open Command Search.
2. Move focus to the Search box, and type a term like “xFont.”
3. A list of related results is displayed showing the command, keystroke, and description.

Continuous Improvements

This release marks the start of improvements for the 2025 cycle. Similar to the enhancements introduced during the 2024 cycle, which included advanced customization options for various Screen Enhancements, new Multiple Monitor modes, and the integration of our highest text quality (xFont) into Office 365, you can anticipate additional functionalities throughout the 2025 cycle.

Enhancements in Fusion 2025.2412.20 and JAWS 2025.2412.50 (December 2024)

The following is a list of improvements made in the December 2024 update.

Convenient OCR Updates

JAWS 2025 offers improvements to the Convenient OCR (Optical Character Recognition) feature. These include a new method for recognizing the text of images based on the current context as well as the ability to perform OCR continuously in the background.

All-in-one Keystroke

The new keystroke reduces the effort of using Convenient OCR by using only, INSERT+SPACEBAR, O, ENTER, to recognize the text from an image based on your current application and context. This eliminates the need to remember multiple keystrokes constantly.

For instance:

• If you are in File Explorer, it recognizes the currently selected image file.
• If you are in Adobe Reader, it recognizes the currently open PDF document.
• If you are playing a YouTube video, it activates Background OCR and places the Invisible cursor in the video area so you can access any displayed text as it is recognized.
• If you are in a Teams or Zoom meeting where content is being shared, such as PowerPoint slides, it activates Background OCR and places the Invisible cursor in the shared content area so you can view the recognized text as it updates.
• In any other applications, it recognizes the current window that has focus.

Background OCR

To help identify and read text from applications that are otherwise inaccessible, JAWS 2025 can now continuously perform OCR in the background for the active window. This ensures users can seamlessly access and interact with text content on their screens, improving overall accessibility and user experience.

To start Background OCR, use the layered command, INSERT+SPACEBAR, O, B. To review the OCR results, turn on the JAWS or Invisible cursor. Continue navigating with the JAWS or Invisible cursor to read the recognized text as it updates. Braille display users can also position themselves on a line and watch it update in real-time as new text is recognized.

Tip: Pressing INSERT+SPACEBAR, O, CTRL+B also starts background OCR, but with the addition of a soft clicking sound to indicate the OCR process is being performed.

Background OCR remains active until a new window gains focus. Otherwise, you can stop it using the layered command, INSERT+SPACEBAR, O, Q.

This feature is most useful in applications where onscreen content is partially or completely inaccessible. Examples include security tools, messaging platforms, file management utilities, system maintenance software, multimedia editing programs, games, proprietary laptop utilities, or shared screen content.

Examples

A common use for Background OCR is using the INSERT+SPACEBAR, O, ENTER command to access textual content embedded in YouTube videos as well as screen content shared in Teams or Zoom.

Note: While INSERT+SPACEBAR, O, B also works for accessing video or shared screen content, INSERT+SPACEBAR, O, ENTER is recommended as it limits background recognition to the area with the video or screen share. The Invisible cursor automatically activates and is restricted to this area to minimize distractions. Using INSERT+SPACEBAR, O, B captures text from the content but may mix it with other text on the screen.

YouTube

To use Background OCR to recognize text in a YouTube video:

1. Start playing a video on YouTube.com.
2. Press INSERT+SPACEBAR, O, ENTER. JAWS starts Background OCR, then activates and moves the Invisible cursor to the video.
3. Use your ARROW keys to explore the recognized text.
4. At any point, you can verify Background OCR is active by pressing ALT+DELETE. If Background OCR is enabled, this will be indicated following the information on the active cursor and its position.
5. Cancel Background OCR by doing one of the following:
   
    
   • Pressing INSERT+SPACEBAR, O, Q to cancel recognition.
   • Switching to the PC or Virtual PC cursor.
   • Refreshing the page.
   • Loading a new video or page.
   • Changing focus to another application or window.

Shared Slides in Teams and Zoom

To use Background OCR to recognize the text of a shared screen or presentation in a Teams or Zoom meeting:

1. Join a Teams or Zoom meeting where content is being shared.
2. Press INSERT+SPACEBAR, O, ENTER. JAWS starts Background OCR, then activates and moves the Invisible cursor to the shared content area.
3. Use your ARROW keys to explore the recognized text.
4. At any point, you can verify Background OCR is active by pressing ALT+DELETE. If Background OCR is enabled, this will be indicated following the information on the active cursor and its position.
5. Cancel Background OCR by doing one of the following:
   
    
   • Pressing INSERT+SPACEBAR, O, Q to cancel recognition.
   • Switching to the PC or Virtual PC cursor.
   • Changing focus to another application or window.

FSCompanion

When launching FSCompanion from JAWS using the layered command, INSERT+SPACEBAR, F1, FSCompanion now opens directly inside a Results Viewer window. This prevents FSCompanion from opening in a new web page, seamlessly integrating it with your current applications. You can toggle between a running application and FSCompanion using ALT+TAB, or locate it in your Windows List (INSERT+F10) after opening. This setup allows you to use FSCompanion alongside your daily tasks with greater ease. Additionally, a link to access FSCompanion is now included in JAWS Hot Key Help (INSERT+H).

Picture Smart

• The INSERT+SPACEBAR, P, ENTER command along with its variations, which describes an image based on the current application and context, now describes images in WhatsApp without including surrounding content from the active window as long as you are focused on the image. This command also now describes shared content in a Zoom meeting if you are focused in the Zoom Application.
• While focused on an image file attachment in an Outlook message, the INSERT+SPACEBAR, P, ENTER and INSERT+SPACEBAR, P, F commands or one of their variations now describes the file attachment without you first having to open or save it.

Modern Script Compiler (Early Adopter Program)

JAWS introduces the Modern Script Compiler, designed to simplify the integration of new features for script developers. While functionality mirrors the legacy compiler, this early access allows Scripters to ensure compatibility with existing JAWS scripts.

How to Get Started

To enable the Modern Script Compiler:

1. In the JAWS Options menu, choose Early Adopter Program.
2. Select Modern Script Compiler.
3. Select OK and restart the software.

All compiled scripts will now process through both legacy and modern compilers. If any issues arise, disable the Modern Script Compiler through the Early Adopter Program Dialog to seamlessly revert to the legacy compiler.

This initiative ensures a smooth transition to advanced scripting capabilities in future updates!
