JAWS Tip: Is JAWS Not Speaking As You Move Your Cursor? Try Toggling Enhanced Edit Support In almost all applications moving the cursor or caret using your arrow keys causes JAWS (or any screen reader) to speak the character, word or line as you use the appropriate cursor movement commands, such as right arrow for next character, control+right arrow for next word, etc. This works nearly 100% of the time. However, I recently noticed that JAWS wasn’t speaking as I was moving the cursor in Jarte, a Wordpad-like word processor that I often use. This was baffling until I found the fix. (Note: in the interest of full transparency I may have enabled the setting that I’m about to discuss as a default. Therefore, the problem that I encountered may not actually have been a JAWS issue but may have been something that I personally enabled.) If you encounter this problem in Jarte or in any
program where cursor navigation isn’t speaking try toggling enhanced edit
support. Here’s how you can
locate this feature. 1. Press insert+F2 for the list of JAWS managers
and press enter on Settings Center. As a quick shortcut pressing insert+6 will
open Settings Center. This
is the 6 on the row of numbers and not on the number pad. If you are asked to create a new configuration press enter to accept. 2. In the search edit field type,
enhanced.
3. Navigate with the down arrow key through the
list of results and look for “enhanced edit support.” While this should be
enabled for Word it should be
disabled for Jarte. Pressing the space key toggles this setting from being not checked (turned off) to being checked (enabled.) 4. Press enter twice, which will close Settings
Center and save your changes.

Subject: JAWS and Chromium Edge Hi all,
Anyone experience inconsistency when navigating by letters in form field
using the left/right arrow?
This happens on my machine but only in Chromium edge. I’m running JAWS
2020.
