Why does JAWS think the scripts for LibreOffice are "Symphony?"

Academic writing and JAWS
I wrote mine in LaTeX, which handled all of the formatting as well as the automatic citation and bibliography generation. This is also what I now use when writing scholarship (e.g., a journal article

favorite email client on windows?
I use Thunderbird under Linux. I can't comment on its accessibility with Windows/JAWS, but it does seem to have a good reputation there also. Under Windows, it's Microsoft Outlook for me. If I weren't

Kindle Reader for PC
I suppose you could try uninstalling and reinstalling it, removing all of its data files in the process. If you would lose data by doing this, then it's probably an issue for Amazon support. I suspect

Volume level heard on Windows10 lock screen JAWS2021
I don't think so. This was supposed to have been resolved during the JAWS beta period, according to the release notes, but apparently wasn't.

I Cannot Join Zoom Meeting from my Outlook Calendar
Yes, this is how it works, and it has been for as long as I’ve been using Microsoft Outlook (from late 2014).

JAWS2021 Beta V 2009.13.40 Download Link + What's New
It’s working well here. I notice the Windows messages that are now presented by JAWS, for example if the fingerprint reader recognizes (or fails to recognize) me as I attempt to log in.

Decimal or right tab in Word
Alt-H, P, G takes you to the paragraph dialogue, in which there is a “tabs” button that allows you to adjust tab stops. There are radio buttons for left/right/decimal alignment.

I would suggest upgrading to JAWS 2020. If that isn't enough to fix it, a complete reinstallation of Windows would be a good idea.

Antivirus software.
I don’t know about “most accessible”, as I haven’t been comparing security software for accessibility, but it is highly accessible. Note also that Microsoft has strengthened Windows Defender over time
