Hi Chris,
I assume that this feature is able to extract the help information that can
be part of an object using MSAA and present it to the user. It could also
apply to a replacement standard, I think is called User Interface
Accessibility (UIA), or from both. This would only be useful if the
developer actually provided this text within the application. This might be
helpful in applications using MSAA, like iTunes. What is the hotkey to get
the help information?

It's in the verbosity preferences.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Control Description in JAWS 11
Hello all,
Using the JAWS 11 public beta 2, I have turned on this new feature
called Control Description. My friend wants to try me out with
something, but it's not working here. I'm on the Google home page and
apparently if you up past the search edit field it will say something,
but it's just saying blank here. Could someone please describe to me
how this is meant to work? I keep hearing, "insert F1 for help", but
wasn't sure if that was a control description. An example of this
tutor message is when I type in my password to log onto Windows 7.
Thanks in advance, and please excuse my ignorance.
