[NFBCS] JAWS 2021 Not Reading Window Title When Changing Windows

Mon Nov 16 16:19:35 UTC 2020

I just tried switching among apps with alt-Tab, and I guess my statement below was not useful.
With a Humanware NLS eReader display hooked to JAWS 2021 under Windows 10, I hear the titles while holding down the Alt key.
On the other hand, without a braille display, JAWS 2021 is not reading those title bars under Windows 7.

I don't know about Nicole, but I think Graham is running JAWS with a braille display.

It seems to work the same way as JAWS 2020 for me. JAWS 2021 is reading window titles when I hold down ALT while pressing and releasing TAB.

            Has anyone else noticed that, when using ALT tab to change Windows, JAWS does not read the title of the window until both keys are released? In JAWS 2020, if you held down ALT and kept pressing tab to cycle through the windows, JAWS would announce the titles.
