Experience New Features
New features of Fusion Suite 2025 include:
- FSCompanion: This new AI assistant enables you to ask questions about JAWS and other applications and quickly get the answers you need. Use FSCompanion to learn how to perform a task, look up a setting, or request keystrokes. For example, you might ask how to use PlaceMarkers in JAWS, request keystrokes for using JAWS Dictionary Manager, or learn how to create an email signature in Microsoft Outlook.
- Automatic Language Detection: For users who read documents or web pages in multiple languages, authors occasionally use incorrect language tags, which JAWS relies on when switching between languages. JAWS now detects the language in use automatically and adjusts the voice based on the written language. This feature runs entirely on your computer and does not access the Internet.
- ZoomText and Fusion Update Enhancements: To improve the update process, we made sure you can move smoothly from the 2024 to 2025 version. Upon updating, your startup settings will automatically transfer to 2025. You can check if you are using the latest version by looking at the ZoomText or Fusion toolbar, which now displays the version year.
- AppReader Enhancements: In ZoomText, when reading a Word or Notepad file with AppReader and pressing CTRL or ENTER to stop reading, you can resume reading by double-clicking on the text of the document.
