Please excuse my ignorance. Once again I tried the new command search feature, insert plus space plus J and looked for caret and for browse to no avail. The feature is useless?

Ofcource it will not show things in braille. It will show the text that is also shown on a brailledisplay and a brailledisplay will show what Jaws speaks, so the brailleviewer will also show what is spoken. Not completely, but for the most part. Marten, This can indeed be very useful in its own right, but take it from a sighted helper, it doesn't solve the original problem posed. Most of us can tell precisely what JAWS is reading and saying, the problem is we have absolutely no idea where that is on the web page itself. If you're on a text-rich webpage in particular, long wikipedia pages are an excellent example, JAWS can be reading multiple scrolled pages ahead of what has been left visible on the screen. Trying to figure out where that actually is on the web page itself is often really a major production that breaks both flow and train of thought for the listener. I still do not have a reply from FS Technical Support of whether there actually is a practical way to make JAWS force Windows to scroll the web browser such that what's being read corresponds to what an assistant can actually see on the screen at that moment, at least somewhere on that screen.
