I just figured out how to add a note to some highlighted text in the Kindle desktop application with NVDA. I couldn't figure it out at all with JAWS. Anyone know how to do this with JAWS?

Sometimes I come up with the most obvious ideas! I just used JAWS Picture Smart to read a dialog where JAWS wouldn't read anything but the buttons. After using Picture Smart I knew I wanted to click the "Maybe later" button. Now it seems so obvious, and I'm kicking myself for not having thought about this months if not years ago!

I just sent the following suggestion to Freedom Scientific using the email address [email protected].
The JAWS key sequence alt+shift+l brings up a list of misspelled words in MS Word but not in the new MS Outlook. It would be nice if it did.

We love hearing how K-12 students use our assistive technology to learn and grow. If you know a student who uses Vispero JAWS, ZoomText, or Fusion software, consider nominating them for Student of the Month.
It’s a great way to share their story and recognize the effort they put into their education. Learn more: https://www.freedomscientific.com/studentofthemonth-2/

Meet the Freedom Scientific Student of the Month! Kenny is a high school student who uses JAWS on his school computer to navigate websites and complete school assignments. “I really do think it is the best screen reader of them all. I use it to navigate Schoology, our main learning platform, and access Google Docs, watch videos, and send email.”

If you're just going to tell me to use NVDA, don't reply. I have a problem. I updated Parallels recently, and for the second time, JAWS decided that it was no longer registered with my VM. I have no clue how I fixed this the first time. It was like it fixed itself or something. Can I please get some help on how to resolve this? Thanks! #Blind #JAWS2025 #FreedomScientific #Screenreader
