moderated how to read highlighted text on web page

One thought is to place focus on each of the options and, in each case, press JAWS key+f to compare fonts, etc. This may be all you need. Otherwise, it may tell you how the highlighted text differs from the non-highlighted.

OI am using Jaws 2020 latest update and I can't seem to read hilighted text on web page. What I am trying to read are options with y/n choices and one of them is hilighted. I tried to use a different sound scheme such as attributes and colors, but no joy. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. -- Your life is like a penny. You're going to lose it.

hmmm, jaws +f2 just says custom hilight and you can set the foreground
and background, but seems no way to read them. On Sat, 13 Jun 2020 13:28:59 -0400, Adrian Spratt wrote: -- Your life is like a penny. You're going to lose it. The question is: How do you spend it? John Covici wb2una covici@...

If one just wants to read what is highlighted, the Jaws hotkey

insert + Shift + numpad 2 will read the highlighted text. Glenn

John,

Fortunately, Glenn posted what seems like the definitive answer, a keystroke that's new to me. However, for the record, I was suggesting JAWS key+f, not +F2. I can see how JAWS caused the confusion, with the word "to" following "f" in my post.

It would be great to figure out where in a document is any highlighted text.

Jaws +f gives the font, but its the same, the colors are what is
different, and although the person says isomething was hilighted, that is what was meant. On Sat, 13 Jun 2020 14:37:10 -0400, Adrian Spratt wrote: -- Your life is like a penny. You're going to lose it. The question is: How do you spend it? John Covici wb2una covici@...

Try this keystroke:
Shift+JAWSKey+DownArrow
Says selected or highlighted text that appears on the
screen.
Take care. Mike. Sent from my iBarstool. *My body has absorbed so much soap and disinfectant lately that when I pee it cleans the toilet.

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 JAWSKey+5 (on the number row) to identify color, and I’m not too optimistic about that either.

I found a keystroke jaws+alt+s where I can change the scheme to read
the colors -- I don't know why it did not work when I tried to do it from the settings center, but it seems to work fairly well, only problem is that Jaws goes silent sometimes for 15-20 seconds after I hit jaws-to-pc hot key -- using Chrome. Thanks for everyones suggestion, I hope this works. On Sat, 13 Jun 2020 18:22:54 -0400, Dean Martineau wrote: -- Your life is like a penny. You're going to lose it.
