Hartgen Consultancy Product Compatibility With the Upcoming JAWS 2023 Public Beta.
I'm beginning to feel like the queen. Each year at Christmas, she delivers an annual message. But it is at this time of year where I have to give my very own annual message: my usual reminder about the upcoming version of JAWS and how our products fit into the upcoming public beta.
According to the FSCast podcast episode 219, the public beta of JAWS version 2023 will be available some time next week. So the question always arises: can our products be used with the public beta? I've had several enquiries about this already.
The short answer is no, you shouldn't use them. This is for two reasons.
First, we do not support a JAWS version until it is officially released, and that is usually at the end of October.
Second, you are not being fair to Vispero if you want to take part in the beta process.
For example, if you use our Zoom JAWS scripts, and you find a problem with compatibility with JAWS 2023, you may feel you ought to report that problem to Vispero. You are submitting a false report because our scripts will override the functionality offered as part of the JAWS 2023 product.
We're very gratified that people want to use our products, but please understand that if you do use them with JAWS 2023, we will not provide support under that condition. Moreover, we must absolutely insist please that you do not use Leasey or J-Say with JAWS 2023 public beta. In terms of Leasey, we do have a build which is working correctly with JAWS 2023, and that will be in testing as of next week. There will be updates to Leasey in September and October, but they will be for JAWS 2022.
The Zoom scripts have been updated to build 64 to take account of a compatibility issue with JAWS 2023, and the scripts for StationPlaylist and Microsoft Teams should be fine as well. But again, there are no guarantees.
To repeat, all our products will function with JAWS 2023 when it is released and we do not anticipate anyone having to wait to use them after that time.
Thank you.
