Do you know that jaws has an api? You could get it to speak directly, instead of relying on focus in an edit box. You can even interrupt speech, so when you set it up to, say, speak text when a key is pressed, the spoken message will have priority and the keypress will not be spoken aloud. You can braille with jaws, too. What language are you using?
