Freedom Scientific Releases Version 2025 of JAWS, ZoomText, and Fusion
(Clearwater, Florida – October 30, 2024) Freedom Scientific is thrilled to announce the annual release of the 2025 versions of the leading screen access products, JAWS® for Windows, ZoomText®, and Fusion®.
Key features and improvements include:
- FS Companion: This new AI-powered assistant is trained to help JAWS users easily navigate JAWS, Microsoft applications, and Windows. Users can ask FS Companion how to complete specific tasks, such as locating a setting in Word or accessing a particular JAWS feature and receive immediate step-by-step guidance without searching multiple resources.
- Enhanced Language Detection in JAWS: JAWS 2025 introduces AI-powered language detection, allowing users to seamlessly switch between languages while reading documents or web pages without manual adjustments. This feature is processed locally on the computer, ensuring privacy and security.
- Improved EPUB Support in JAWS: With new region-specific navigation options and the ability to recognize page breaks, JAWS 2025 offers a smoother and more interactive reading experience for EPUB digital publications, making it easier for users to explore structured content like textbooks and eBooks.
- ZoomText Performance and Stability Boosts: ZoomText 2025 includes notable performance improvements for smoother navigation and typing in Office 365 apps, faster startup times, and improved stability within Windows File Explorer. Enhanced xFont performance ensures greater readability and responsiveness across applications.
- AppReader Enhancements in ZoomText: The updated AppReader in ZoomText provides greater control when reading documents, with performance improvements and new settings for resuming reading more intuitively.
As with all updates, users will benefit from updated support for Microsoft Windows, the Office suite, and access to Chromium-based browsers along with fixes to many bugs.
Consistent with our tradition, post-installation will auto-migrate users’ previous settings, encompassing Braille devices and configurations. This facilitates a smoother transition, especially for those who might find adapting to new versions challenging.
Freedom Scientific looks forward to publishing numerous updates to Fusion Suite 2025 over the coming year, adding new features and capabilities and regular updates to stay current with popular applications.
