The following is a list of improvements made between the March 2026 release and the May 2026 update. Page Explorer Availability Page Explorer, accessed with INSERT+SHIFT+E, is an extension of Vispero Companion that quickly summarizes a web page, highlights important content and links, and provides helpful navigation tips so you can find what you need faster. This feature is now available to Home Annual users. In addition, Home users are no longer limited to 20 requests per week. This means more users can take advantage of Page Explorer, with fewer limits to worry about. You can now access detailed web page information when you need it most, without having to keep track of usage caps. Age Restrictions for AI Features To help ensure a safe and age-appropriate experience for all users, JAWS AI features, Picture Smart, Vispero Companion, and Page Explorer, now adapt based on the age set in your Vispero account. For users 18 and older, there is no change to how these features work. For younger users, the following adjustments apply:

• Under 13 – Images are described with stricter safety limits, chat is not available, and no access to Vispero Companion or Page Explorer
• Ages 13 to 17 – Images are described with safety limits in place, and chat is available with those same restrictions applied to responses These adjustments help ensure a safer and more appropriate experience for younger users and align with industry best practices for AI features.
