Hi Fernando, In Jaws quick settings, Options / Basics try these 2 settings if you haven't already. I know I asked this earlier, but I don't know which settings you tried. Using the settings below produced extra Jaws verbiage, but I just don't recall exactly what the control description is supposed to say.

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:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] 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?

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.
