Insert + B does get the notification bar read, but first JAWS starts
reading the contents of the Internet Explorer window but only reads the
window's title before reading the notification bar, I will need to try
it with more web sites to see if that is by design or specific to that
web site.
The left and right arrows don't seem to do anything, to navigate the
buttons in the notification bar you have to use tab.
I did find a possible way to do it though, but like insert +B, it needs
more testing to see if it works for most, if not all web sites. Press
Alt + N to give the notification bar the focus, then switch to the touch
cursor, then right arrow once to hear the notification message, then
switch back to the virtual PC cursor to continue navigating the buttons.
I've sent Freedom Scientific a suggestion that JAWS should read the
notification message after Alt + N is pressed and before the buttons are
presented.
Cheers!

Alt + N doesn't work.
While Alt + N does bring focus to the notification bar, all JAWS reads at that
point is the button caption that is currently selected. It does not read any
message or query that might be in the notification bar.
Attempting to tab to the text to get JAWS to read it only moves the focus away
from the notification bar requiring another Alt + N to get back to it.
Thanks anyway.

Hello there,
Try pressing alt+n. This keystroke should bring focus to the
notification bar in Internet Explorer and allow you to read it.
I hope this helps

Hi all!
One of the more irritating aspects of Microsoft's decision to replace
dialogs with a notification bar in Internet Explorer is that JAWS
seems very reluctant to read the contents of the notification bar. It
will eventually read it, but not until it has read everything else
Does anyone know if there is a way to get JAWS to read the contents
of the notification bar on demand, rather than having to wait for it
to be read?
Thanks!
