I'm writing about a useful feature I discovered this weekend. I'm not referring to headings being announced at level 1, 2, 3, etc. Instead, I've discovered that JAWS can be made to announce how many headings have been read on the google results page.


As everyone knows, google displays ten results at a time. I usually lose count by the time I get near the bottom, and so my next press of h takes me back to the top instead of letting me go to the next page of results. However, if I press the "say line" (insert-8) command on a heading, it will indicate which result number I've reached. When I hit "10," I know to arrow down to get to the next page of results.

Maybe others on this list will also find this feature helpful.
