Scripts for JFW and Dragon?
I understand that it appears that Dictation Bridge for JAWS is a product, but it does not in fact work. Lucy Greko, one of those who spearheaded the project, confirmed this when I met year last year.

Your best bet is to buy Jay dictate to work with dragon and jaws. With NVDA, you would be able to use dictation bridge, which is free.

Google Chrome,new,Jaws2020,
The only difference between this and my system is that I'm not running Windows 2004 yet. Chrome is now updated and works as it always has, with Alt+F working as it should work and bookmarks opening.

word count in MS Word
With the current version of Microsoft 365, once focused on the Status bar with F6, you can indeed use the context menu (application) key to get access to the Status Bar options.

how to read highlighted text on web page
I’ll be surprised if the ReadSelectedText hotkey, JAWSKey+Shift+down arrow identifies text that has been highlighted by a web developer or document author. The only keystroke that might work is JAWSKe

Scanning with Open book versus JAWS
I don't think OpenBook is the equal of Kurzweil 1000. Neither product is really being developed, but I'm glad I have K1000, because when I tried OpenBook, results weren't as good. Reading books is far

summer convention specials
They’ll stream a lot of it on ACBRadio. You pay to gain access to the Zoom rooms so you can interact, probably also win door prizes.

Blank Line Keystroke
Word uses different keystrokes. There’s a list of items you can locate in documents, I can try to find it later. You also use the special menu once you expand the Advanced Find dialog. Dean

I did some switching: I turned place marker into P, then use K for Any Link. I don’t tend to use P for paragraph, as ctrl+down arrow works.

kindle books conversion to plain text files
I read a lot with speech, and with every page flip there's a small jolt. I'd rather read on one device, phone for speech, Mini for braille, rather than having to use two at a time. Dean

Well, the deal apparently is that you can't use any version higher than 1.17 with Codex. Old versions are readily available. I use 1.14.243, but apparently 1.16 works too. Here's a page to find them:
