Hi Semeer
The answer is no because the script is independent from Audacity team. We’re
just a team who use Audacity with Jaws, then write script for it as a hobby.

Hi Garry
If the Jaws script for audacity has been released, does it mean that Audacity
2.20 is available for download already?

Subject: [audacity4blind] Jaws Script for Audacity
V2.2.0-alpha-2017-08-05released
Hi,
I just posted an alpha release of the JAWS script. It contains support
for Audacity V2.2.0 (alpha, of course).
You can download the installer from
https://github.com/campg2j003/JAWS-Script-for-Audacity/releases/download/rel2.2.0-Alpha-2017-08-05/Jaws-Script-for-Audacity_2_2_0-Alpha-2017-08-05.exe.
The source is on GitHub on the "next" branch. (Go to
http://www.github.com/camp2j003/Jaws-Script-for-Audacity, choose "Switch ;
Branches or Tags", the Branches tab, and next.)
Audacity V2.2.0 replaces the Length and End radio buttons on the
Selection bar with a combo box. Last I heard, this combo box has no
name, and I am told that an early version of David's guide describes it
this way: "An unnamed combo box which determines which details of any
selected time range are shown in the two edit spin boxes, which are the
next two controls in
the toolbar". For now I'm calling it the "Position Display Type". The
script has a new key sublayer under the JAWSKey+a layer ("p" for
Position) that allows you to select one of these choices. These layer
keys are:
s: start/end
l: start/length
e: length/end
c: length/center
p: say current selection
The keys 1-4 on the typing row are equivalent to s, l, e, and c,
respectively. The keys that say/set the selection ends speak the name
of each field. They are spoken in the order they appear on the screen.
I was going to change the order so that ALT+[ always speaks an
"absolute" position (start, end, center) and ALT+] always speaks length
(if included), but I decided it was too confusing. Let me know what you
think.
I have also added key layer help.
I notice that Silence Preview during effects isn't working. I'm not
sure if I will try to address that soon-- it's a nightmare to debug!
I also added an experimental feature. My Lenovo laptop requires that
you hold the FN key to type a function key. I find it a bit awkward to
hold Shift+FN and find F5 through F8, so I made a layer JAWSKey+a,s (for
short). In this layer the keys j through semicolon correspond to
Shift+F5 through F8, Control+j and Control+l correspond to
Shift+Control+F5 and F7. You do not leave the key layer after pressing
these keys, so you can do several of them without retyping JAWSKey+a, s
each time. I also included "c" in this layer for the normal "c" key. I
chose s for this layer because the keys play short selections of audio,
although I think it would be easier to type another key that isn't right
next to a. (I originally put it on f for function keys, but I changed
it because that isn't very pneumonic.) Try it and see if you like it.
I just implemented it last night, so I haven't used it yet except to
test it a bit.
Since I have installed the Windows 10 Creators update, I can't run
Audacity 2.1.3 very well. I would appreciate it if someone still using
2.1.3 (before Creator update) would test the script on it and let me
know if it still works.
I would also like someone who has JAWS 10 to test it and let me know how
it works. In particular, I want to know if the script will compile and
not gripe about calling function KeymapChangedEvent.
You can get nightly builds of Audacity at
http://gaclrecords.org.uk/win-nightly/. You can avoid trashing your ;
installed version of Audacity by unzipping the file in a folder and
making a folder called Portable Settings in the same folder that
contains audacity.exe.
Thanks.
Gary
