You might want to ask the Sparrow about why this is happening. There might be a setting in Jaws somewhere, but I am not knowledgeable of it.

As I mentioned before, there have been times when I'm watching a video and
the screen-reader will, seemingly at random, be focused on the subtitles and
read them as the video goes on. Of course 90% of the time I don't actually
want them when this happens, and I don't know how to make this behaviour
consistent when I do.
I generally rpefer reading subtitles on a braille display at my own pace,
but I also generally watch youtube videos when I'm not at the computer.

They are on, but its just a bit of a line in the window, can't really read
it that way, no way to scroll.

Your life is like a penny.  You're going to lose it.  The question is:
How do
you spend it?
