The "Say Bottom Line of Window" command in JAWS is used to read the bottom line of the active window. In most cases, this bottom line is the status bar. The status bar often contains important information, such as the current page number in a document, the position of the cursor, or other status messages that are not always spoken automatically.
To use this command, press: INSERT+PAGE DOWN on a desktop keyboard or CAPS LOCK+SHIFT+N on a laptop.

Mitbringsel aus #Berlin 🎉
Als #Jaws Fan musste ich im #Bücherbogen direkt zugreifen. 🦈
Das Büchlein von Fischli/Weiss ist aus dem Shop des #MuseumfürFotografie. Die Fragen haben für #Selbstreflektion + ausschweifende #Diskussionen bei abendlichen Drinks gesorgt 🥂 Erst scheint die Antwort sonnenklar, dann grübelt man, relativiert, hinterfragt... 😅
Im #Europacenter ist zweifacher #Totentanz:

RIP Tony Stella. Very few artists today capture the old-school film aesthetic the way he did. His style was a raw, hand-painted love letter to golden age cinema, and his ability to capture the mood, heart, and tension of each film in a single illustration was on the level of Noriyoshi Ohrai, Drew Struzan, and Renato Casaro.

Question for my fellow fedi blind folk: Is it worth buying an annual sub for JAWS in 2026, or should I stick with NVDA 2026.1? Depending on the cost for a sub in the US, I may actually be able to afford it. #A11Y #Accessibility #Blind #ScreenReaders #JAWS #NVDA #Poll

Ever wonder what window or application is currently active? Both JAWS and NVDA use the same shortcut: Insert + T. Your screen reader will announce the title of the active window. If you're using NVDA, press it twice to have it spelled out, or three times to copy it to your clipboard.
Useful when you have several windows open and need a quick check on where you are.

As I don't have a pinned #introduction I thought I'd post one, particularly for new followers, although my profile is fairly descriptive.
I'm visually impaired due to LCA. I'm a practicing Catholic. I was born Jewish and became a nondenominational Protestant for a while before becoming Catholic in 2007.
I've been working in the blindness assistive technology space for 35 years, doing tech support and then providing technology training for both children and adults. After that, I was a product manager with Comcast's accessibility team. I'm currently the marketing director for Blazie Technologies, which develops Braille oriented computers for blind consumers, powered by Raspberry Pi.
love science fiction, with #DoctorWho and #Babylon5 being my two favorite series. I've been a Doctor Who fan for 41 years and enjoy the TV series, books as well as professional and fan-produced DW dramas. I love audio theater, both old time radio as well as modern audio drama. I primarily enjoy science fiction drama but I also have a special place in my heart for Gunsmoke, which I feel was one of the best OTR shows of its time, as far as its writing and audio production.
I also enjoy watching videos and reading books on apologetics as well as about religious cults; their beliefs and how we as Christians should respond to their claims. I love clean, wholesome puns and I often am unable to resist responding with them.
I love cats. I probably wouldn't be allowed on Mastodon if I didn't.
I use both #JAWS and #NVDA for screen reading.
In the tech world, product support is always my first love.
I own and moderate the Tech-VI mailing list. It's an announce-only list where I distribute announcements in the blindness technology space; winner of the 2022 James R. Olsen Distinguished Service award from the American Council of the Blind. To subscribe, send email to
[email protected]Favorite OTR show: the Shadow
Favorite foods: any type of pasta, love spaghetti and meatballs. Also sushi.
