When I am working on the computer with a sighted person it is common for me to be reading something or looking at links and the sighted person is telling me that they cannot see what I am reading even when using the PC cursor. It would be very helpful if JAWS was reading what was on the screen and visible. There may be some tech issue that prevents FS from being able to do this.

Not sure why it cannot be addressed by them. Perhaps more requests from folks for this feature might help. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Maria Campbell" <lucky1i...@gmail.com> To: <jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com> Sent: Monday, February 01, 2016 7:11 PM Subject: [JAWS-Users] Caret browsing > On the other JAWS user's list, we have been discussing how to get better > help from the sighted, when needed, while browsing with JAWS.
