Hi,
I agree the text analyzer of jaws is good. I do wish I knew more how to use 
it.
I sometimes volunteer train people in assistive tech.

It does. And also does a pretty nice job on the web as well. But it does
lack things like the text analyzer which are very important in my view. And
recently especially, Jaws seems to be a lot more responsive with web apps,
especially in Chrome.
