In JAWS we have multiple cursers we use. I use, the PC curser, then, JAWS curser, then Touch curser. I fan out with these if an app or webpage isn’t accessible. With the PC and JAWS curser, we have JAWS find. We can type in text, and JAWS will place the active curser on the text. We can’t natively find text, with the Touch curser. What I’ve found, is the Touch curser, a lot of times will open up parts of applications that we can’t easily get to with the PC or JAWS curser, it’s another tool. As the touch curser uses object navigation, you must right arrow over many times sometimes 50-100 to find what you are looking for. Now, with these scripts, we may use JAWS Touch find, and the touch curser will race across the application until it lands on the text in question. We may then press enter, if the object is clickable. You will hear clicks, but no speech as the curser is moving. If the text that you are looking for is not found, you should receive a pop up box letting you know. You will use JAWSKey+Space, and then, Control+f to start the find process. JAWSKey+space, and f3 to find next. JAWSKey+space, and Shift+f3 to find previous.

Instalation: Coppy the scripts from the DefaultDotJSS file to the end of your Default script file. Opening the Script manager with Insert+0.

Press control+end again. You may then paste the scripts from the text file. If you are in the User Default file, press control+end, paste the scripts. In either case, press control+s to save. You should hear, compile complete. open the default.jkm key map file in the Script manager, and in the common keys section, paste the key mappings from the DefaultDotJKM.TXT file.
