Hi Mike, Thank you for replying. Yes, I checked both Quick Settings and the Settings Center for the active verbosity level. In the active level, which is Beginner, I have checked the Control Descriptions item, and changing between long or short messages produce the same result on this problem. Regarding Speech and Sounds Manager, I only changed the Classic scheme to make different heading levels to play piano sounds. Even so, I tried reverting to the original Classic scheme but, as I supposed, the problem is not fixed. I also tried running JAWS in English to see if perhaps this is a specific issue in the Spanish version (it wouldn't be the first time I must edit a translated message missing a %1 or documentation which states things in an order different to the actual one, for example), but this issue is also present in English. I think this should be somewhat related to the FocusChangedEvent, but my knowledge of event functions and scripting language in general is poor. As a workaround I tried to add the SayControlDescription function in the FocusChangedEvent, but it didn't worked at all.
Do you have some other ideas I can try? Thanks in advance! -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mike B.

You're an advanced / very knowlebgeable Jaws computer operator, so I would imagine you have, but just throwing the suggestion out there. Also has a setting in Speech & Sound Schemes possibly changed? Take care. Mike. Sent from my iBarstool. Arguing with a woman is like reading a software license agreement. In the end you have to ignore everything, & click I agree. ----- Original Message ----- From: Fernando Gregoire To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, February 06, 2018 7:29 PM Subject: [JAWS-Users] JAWS is not speaking control descriptions Hi all, Since many versions ago, JAWS is not reading the control descriptions even when I have this item checked in the current verbosity level settings. If I want to get this data, I manually have to locate the Touch Cursor with Advanced Object Navigation on the desired control, press ALT+ENTER and find the value of the HelpText property, which obviously is slow and often useless. Does someone know how I could fix this to match the behavior of some old versions like JAWS 9, in which this verbosity setting was always honored? I am using Windows 10 Fall Creators Update and JAWS 2018. It would be useful to quickly know the information about commands in Office programs like Excel that are complex and I don't use on a daily basis.
