Tim,
I just ran the test you described below on my Windows 7 64-bit system running
several versions of JAWS.
When I successively hit F3, F4, F5, using either JAWS 13 or JAWS 15, the mode
is automatically announced as it should be.
However when I hit the same keys when running JAWS 16, nothing is announced.
The only way I can tell which mode is selected when using JAWS 16 is to hit
Insert+PageDown as you suggested should always announce the mode.
If I can do anything else to help you figure out what is going on with JAWS 16,
let me know.

OK, it’s an easy test – just make sure you’ve got your surface selected in the
list box and press F3 (live mode), F4 (ID mode) and F5 (Screen Reader mode).
You should hear the names of the modes announced. If you don’t then you’ve can
double-check what mode you’re in using Insert+PageDown (this will work
regardless of the bug) – if this keystroke indicates that the modes are
changing but you’re not hearing announcements from the F-keys then you’ve
reproduced the problem.
Best wishes.

Hi,
Can anybody confirm/deny that their SurfaceReader works with either Jaws 15 or
Jaws 16, please? I’m limited to Jaws 14 here, but Steve reported a lack of
speech once he’d installed Jaws 16 and I’m trying to assess how big the issue
is.
Best wishes.
