How To Access the New Picture Smart AI in JAWS and Fusion

Released: 3/14/2024


JAWS and Fusion Power Tip.

Picture Smart AI is a revolutionary update to the traditional Picture Smart feature.

By integrating with the latest artificial intelligence (AI) technology from services like Chat GPT from Open AI and Gemini from Google, you will now experience a whole new level of accessibility to graphical information.

While you access Picture Smart as you have in the past by pressing INSERT+SPACEBAR, P, then C for control, F for file, etc., you will be amazed by the depth and richness of the visual descriptions Picture Smart AI now offers.

We have also added new keystrokes for describing images via screenshots or windows. Press INSERT+SPACEBAR, P, then (QUESTION MARK) for a list of available commands.

Picture Smart AI is currently available as an Early Adopter Program feature. We encourage you to try it and provide feedback using the “Send Feedback” form that is available in the Early Adopter Program dialog box.

To Enable Picture Smart AI:

1.) Press ALT+O in the JAWS program window to access the JAWS Options menu. Press E to select Early Adopter Program.

2.) Press TAB to navigate to Picture Smart with Generative AI, and press SPACEBAR to select the checkbox to enable this feature.

Note: If you clear the check box, you return to the traditional Picture Smart functionality.

3.) Press TAB to navigate to OK and press ENTER.

4.) Restart the software to begin using Picture Smart AI.

The Power of JAWS!
