Jawes doesn't recognize or speak this key because, as noted in previous messages, it has no recognizable function. However, when used with the function keys, it will allow the user to activate certain original functionality. It acts like a Shift key.
In a standard HP laptop, the key is pressed in combination with the function keys. When that happens, Jaws will announce the function such as Refresh, Windows Active List, System Tray, etc. Without that FN key, those keys are programmed to activate other Windows based functions. When that happens, Jaws may or may not react to the change initiated. Certainly, if a key is pressed and new information appears on the screen, Jaws will respond as normal by attempting to speak parts of the new data displayed.
