Hi Mark, In addition to Mostafa's informative answer, you may look into user verbosity level which can be set to beginner, intermediate and advanced. It depends on your Jaws version to tell you exactly where this option is but generally speaking it is in config manager/settings centre. This option controls how much Jaws chat to you and you set it based on your level of expertise as it were.
