You should be able to label the buttons in most applications by creating a Control Prompt. To accomplish this, do the following: 1. Move to the button with the PC cursor by pressing Tab to the unlabeled button.

2. Press Insert + NumPad - (minus) to route the JAWS cursor to the button as well (not sure this is necessary, but I do it to be safe)

3.  press Insert + Control + Tab.  The Create Control Prompt dialog appears.

4. Type in the text you want to hear when moving to the button, then press Enter.

5. Additional dialogs will appear for a Braille prompt and a tutor message. Either type in new messages or accept the defaults by pressing Enter each time.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] How to label buttons?


Hi Folks,
Using JAWS 10, please can anyone tell me how to label buttons within an application.

I have just started to use regcure, a registry cleaner and many buttons are not labelled or at least JAWS reads as "Button" whereas a sighted member of my family can see the name of any button.

Many thanks in advance.

Kindest regards,
