I'm having problems with the jaws (self.Blind)
submitted by FarEssay
I use jaws and when I'm in google chrome sometimes when I try to navigate I can not because I'm always being taken to a specific part of the page. I also can not find the "skip ad" button on youtube.

Not sure if you’re familiar with all of the shortcut keys, do you ever use the B key for finding buttons, I’ve noticed lately with Chrome and Jaws, or YouTube and Jaws, sometimes it will say YouTube video player, instead of the name of the button you want to click, so you have to use the down arrow and then go back up to see what the button does and then hit enter on it. Didn’t know if you’ve ever used that method or not

sometimes I use these shortcuts but still I continue with the problem. On my android also sometimes this happens.

Do you know what’s going on? I work on software where the users heavily use Chrome with JAWS.

Hey, great to hear that you work with Chrome and Jaws. Hopefully soon they will figure out why we can’t copy and text with the keyboard shortcuts that we are used to, such as control shift and one of the arrow keys and then control plus C, does not copy anything or it copies a part of the website you’re not even on, or just a few words of the intended block of text. Hope they figure out what’s going on soon. Jaws is 18 and latest version of Chrome, don’t know the number.

Recent versions of JAWS and Chrome should work as well together as JAWS with Firefox and IE. If they're not, that should be investigated.

It should work with Chrome. You need to go into more detail about what it's doing so we can help you.

for example I just saw a video on youtube and I want to see the recommended videos and when I try to automatically go back to the beginning. When I want to skip ad I can not because this option is not available
