I tested Jaws when reading a line and when you stop speech and focus returns
to the beginning of the line. I am proposing that you should stop at the
begining of the word you stopped on and this word should be read out to the
user to confirm the cursor location.
I think it makes more sense to use the up and down arrow keys rather than
shift when in say all mode as this simplifies the number of keys used. If
you want to read by line you will still be able to but not while in say all
mode.
Thanks,
Nigel
It's not what Operating system you use, it's how productive you are with it.

This functionality is present: but with the right-shift key for going down a line and reading on, during SayAll; and left-shift for reading from the beginning of current line and onwards, during SayAll. The Up-arrow key is for moving *up* a line, not for moving to the beginning of current line (for which the home key is the standard). I believe that one should, always, have the option of reading text one line at a time if one chooses.

I would like to suggest that for this screen reader that when you are in reed all mode pressing the down arrow key will move to the next line down and keep reading.
Pressing the up arrow key will move to the beginning of the current line and keep reading. If the up arrow is pressed when already at the beginning of a line, IE if the up arrow key is pressed twice in quick succession. Then the line above will be read and the screen reader will keep reading.
If the user wishes to stop at any point he will press the stop speech key and the focus will reside at the beginning of the word he stopped on. To confirm this to the user this word will be read out.
What do you think? Thanks, Nigel
