Joy TiltonWell, after having kind of a dim view of #PageExplorer in JAWS, thinking, if anything, it was just for beginners in browsing, I found an interesting use for it last night. Was on one of these sites where you order a particular product, then you're inundated with these hard sell ads imploring you to save more money by buying a larger quantity, or possibly other related products. First couple come-ons, I was able to find a no-thanks button, But last one I could not, until I used #PageExplorer.
I was not seeing any buttons or form field things that I could tab to, or anything. Even tried labeling unlabled graphics that I saw, but none of them indicating a way to decline. So, ran #PageExplorer, and yes, it described the page, but I then asked it where I could fine a button that will let me decline, and it actually told me to press u for unviseted links, until I actually found that button that was, for some reason, hiding from me initially. And, it worked.
Freedom Scientific / VisperoAnnounced at the CSUN Assistive Technology Conference: AI Page Explorer is coming to JAWS and Fusion Home Annual Subscriptions in our May 13 release. This addition expands how people can explore web content using AI-powered insights.
now I think a reasonable approach is to make #PageExplorer an added subscription service. Heck #Leasy is a paid service, although, not through FS, and people have no problem paying for that.
considering that #AI adds more strain on electric energy, more than we choose to realize, which is partly why we get charged extra for subscriptions, or API access to software, I kind of understand why the anual licensed owner of JAWS is being left out. This whole web summarizing thing seems a bit more for the beginning user of JAWS, if anything. I watched a friend of mine demo #PageExplorer, and found it rather slow in comparison to just using quick navigation keys when browsing.
