Thank you, but I am using JAWS, 2024, and had to exit out of forms mode to go up and read the questions.

Just writing to say that I got the following response from Vispero support about this issue.

This works with the latest 2023 update for December and should also work for the next update in JAWS 2024. I tested a private build in JAWS with Edge, Chrome and Firefox and it worked as expected.

The current 2024 works in Firefox but in Edge and Chrome with the current build I had to toggle the virtual cursor off with Insert + Z.

Again this should be fixed in the next update for 2024.

David -

Thank you for the heads up. Nothing has changed in the structure of the survey from previous years and it uses very standard and basic fieldset/legend and form labels, so I suspect that if the questions are not being read that it is either a custom setting in your installation of JAWS or perhaps a bug.

Thanks,
