Re: Resolving Lag With Jaws in an HTML Application Element Using Aria Live Regions

The backslash key doesn't do anything on my machine with JAWS 2021 and the latest Chrome. When I arrow through the list I hear JAWS and the web TTS read each item, but at different speeds. I can't get it to use one or the other - it's always both.

NVDA works fine.

What is the backslash key supposed to do when it is passed through to JAWS? It doesn't appear to be a standard JAWS command.
