[blindLaw] JAWS Speaking Font Info When Text is Selected

[Angela Matney]

I just upgraded to the latest build of JAWS 2020. I'm a huge fan of sound schemes-they generally make life much easier and increase my efficiency immensely. But now, whenever I select information, the attributes, font and color of each unit I select are announced before JAWS speaks the selected text. As you can imagine, this can quickly become tedious, especially if you are selecting by word or character. I've done some searching, though admittedly not as much as I generally do, and I can't figure out how to keep this from happening. I can envision situations where this information would be helpful, but there are definitely situations where it most assuredly is not.

Does anyone have any tips?

Thanks,

Desperate in DC, AKA Angie
