Enhancements in Fusion 2025.2508.21 and ZoomText 2025.2508.35 (September 2025)$$$The following describes improvements made in the September 2025 update.$$$$$$Unicode characters in ZoomText Message Center now display as normal text instead of showing their code values.$$$Cursor enhancements and focus tracking now work reliably when typing in a Command Prompt window.$$$VMWare is now known as Omnissa. As a result; several VMWare scripts stopped working. This has been resolved and both old VMWare scripts and new Omnissa scripts are now supported.$$$True Center Tracking always keeps tracked objects in the center of the screen. It is now automatically disabled when you enable Live Text View.$$$ZoomText now correctly reads the Auto renews on field in the ZoomText About dialog box.$$$ZoomText now announces only the current selection in the Chrome search box instead of both the current and previous selections.$$$The Recorder feature now works correctly after switching between different Vocalizer Expressive 2 voices and languages in ZoomText.$$$Convenient OCR is a feature that lets you recognize text in inaccessible documents and images. In Fusion; Convenient OCRs Mouse Mode is now working again when using it with Outlook messages.$$$The Run ZoomText As command is no longer visible in the Fusion Preferences menu.$$$$$$Enhancements in Fusion 2025.2508.21 and JAWS 2025.2508.120 (September 2025)$$$The following is a list of improvements made between the July 2025 release and the September 2025 update.$$$$$$Support for Multi-Line Braille Displays$$$JAWS now fully supports multi-line Braille output to compatible Braille displays. This is a major leap forward in Braille access; enabling users to interact with complex content more naturally and efficiently than ever before.$$$$$$View multiple lines and even entire paragraphs simultaneously rather than having to constantly pan the display line by line.$$$Get a better representation of the structured layout in a document or web page; especially when viewing tables; charts; or spreadsheets.$$$An enhanced Structured Mode in Word documents; web pages; and other rich text environments for showing control type indicators across multiple lines and not limiting them to the line containing the cursor.$$$Currently; JAWS supports the Monarch from American Printing House for the Blind (APH) and the Dot Pad from Dot Inc. Note that to use JAWS multi-line functionality on the Monarch; you must be running firmware version 1.3 or higher.$$$$$$Two Distinct Modes Depending on Reading Context$$$Wrapped Mode: Ideal for reading documents and web pages; with text flowing naturally across lines. Great for reading books; articles; or emails when you just want to continuously read.$$$Cropped Mode: Best for structured content like tables and spreadsheets. This mode keeps things aligned so columns; rows; and layout stay true as you move from line to line.$$$To select a reading mode; use the Select Braille View dialog (ALT+INSERT+V).$$$$$$Cropped Mode is also used exclusively in Excel; or when focus moves into a table in Word documents; Google Docs; and on web pages. This allows for the proper display of column and row data along with their coordinates in spreadsheets and tables. A column separator represented by DOTS 4-5-6-8 is also displayed to help easily identify the separation between columns. Specific to Excel; cell titles remain at the top while any monitor cells defined in JAWS Quick Settings persist at the bottom for easy reference.$$$$$$Split Braille Extended for Multi-Line Use$$$The Freedom Scientific Split Braille feature lets users show content on a Braille display from two different locations. When Split Braille is active; the Braille display is split into two regions. One region contains the text at the cursor; while the other region contains the split content based on a selected view.$$$$$$Split Braille now works with multi-line displays. This enables users to take advantage of different views including buffered text; annotations;
