I am using JAWS 2023. JAWS commands changed. I confirmed this information by doing insert-space bar and then pressed the letter j. It puts you in a search box and I typed in Read Next Sentence, not capitalized like I just did. This is the information that came up.


Say Next Sentence. JAWSKey + N

Moves to the next sentence and reads it.

Alt + NumPadPlus


Say Next Paragraph. JAWSKey + control + O

Moves to the next paragraph and reads it.

Say Next Character. JAWSKey + .

Moves to the next character and reads it. If the command to read the current character was pressed twice quickly beforehand, the character is spoken phonetically. If the command to read the current character was pressed three times quickly beforehand, the Unicode value of the character is spoken.

RightArrow


Say Next Line. JAWSKey + O

Moves to the next line and reads it.

DownArrow


Say Next Word. JAWSKey + L

Moves to the next word and reads it. If the command to read the current word was pressed twice quickly beforehand, then the word is spelled instead.

Insert + RightArrowJAWSKey + RightArrowcontrol + RightArrow


Say Prior Sentence. JAWSKey + Y
