When it goes into Zombie mode ("no window is active"), that trick is absolutely
useless, along with just about anything else you care to try. This is the
worst flaw of a really outstanding program, so bad as to be deemed
unacceptable, and needs to be fixed before the end of this product cycle.

Two tricks I have mentioned before are:
Press the insert f10 for list of active programs, find the one you want and
enter on it. JAWS often start talking again.
Another is to refresh with insert plus escape.
