Hi Adrian, I am just saying the way Jaws announces it when the keystroke is used. The term "key describer" was mentioned, and I pointed out that is the way it is announced in Openbook. For some people, if it is not announced the way it is stated in instructional material, they are in doubt as to whether or not they have done the right thing. Not trying to be argumentative here,, but it is the best practice to use the terminology used by the software developer, especially when not everyone has the same skill or comprehension levels.

Hi, Rick. I'm not sure why there would be any confusion, considering that the query was about JAWS, not Openbook. Also, while FS does use the term "keyboard help," it's an ambiguous phrase. Help from the keyboard? Help for the keyboard? Help about the keyboard? I wouldn't have a clue. "Key identifier" is much more descriptive and specific, and it is used by other JAWS training websites.

Hi Tom & Adrian, To avoid confusion,the correct name of this function is: Keyboard Help Key describer is the term used in OpenBook for the same function, but different keystroke.

Helga: It sounds like you are in key describer mode. To get out of it, hit the Jaws or insert key and the number 1. This is how key describer mode is toggled on and off.

Hi all! How are you all? So I'm doing now JAWS t anden with my friend, and i fix some settings for him. But for some reason now JAWS 18 is announcing all the keys of the keyboard!
