        "content": "Here\u2019s how to use the **Speech Viewer / Text Viewer** feature in JAWS so you can see a visual transcript of what it\u2019s speaking. This is useful for testing, collaboration, or accessibility work. The exact name of the feature and how to activate it may vary by version.\n\n---\n\n## What are Speech Viewer and Text Viewer?\n\n- **Text Viewer** (sometimes called \u201cSpeech Viewer\u201d in general discussion) displays the most recent speech output visually in a small window (usually a bar at top or bottom of the screen). ([blog.freedomscientific.com](https://blog.freedomscientific.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/FSCast229Transcript-April-2023.html?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Speech History** shows recent announcements spoken by JAWS (up to ~500 entries), so you can review past speech output. ([support.freedomscientific.com](https://support.freedomscientific.com/teachers/lessons/4.3.4_SelectTextOrImagesOnTheWeb.htm?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## How to turn on Text Viewer\n\n1. Press **JAWS Key + SPACE + B**, then **T**  \n   - *JAWS Key* is usually **INSERT**, **CAPS LOCK**, or **NUMPAD 0** (you can choose your layout). ([liptrot.org](https://liptrot.org/guides/jaws/?utm_source=openai))  \n   - This layered command enables or disables the Text Viewer. ([blog.freedomscientific.com](https://blog.freedomscientific.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/FSCast229Transcript-April-2023.html?utm_source=openai))  \n\n2. To customize the Text Viewer\u2019s appearance (font, colors, position):  \n   - Press **INSERT + 6** (opens Settings Center). ([blog.freedomscientific.com](https://blog.freedomscientific.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/FSCast229Transcript-April-2023.html?utm_source=openai))  \n   - Navigate to **Braille and Text Viewers** \u2192 **Text Viewer**, and adjust settings such as font size, foreground/background color, and whether it shows across all applications. ([blog.freedomscientific.com](https://blog.freedomscientific.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/FSCast229Transcript-April-2023.html?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## How to use Speech History\n\nIf you want to see *what JAWS has already spoken* recently, use Speech History:\n\n- Press **JAWS Key + SPACE + H** to open the Speech History (Results Viewer) window. ([hartgen.org](https://www.hartgen.org/speechhistory?utm_source=openai))  \n- The window lists recent speech outputs (by default, up to the last ~50 to 500 statements, depending on your version). ([toptechtidbits.com](https://www.toptechtidbits.com/141.html?utm_source=openai))  \n- Use the arrow keys to scroll through history. ([hartgen.org](https://www.hartgen.org/speechhistory?utm_source=openai))  \n- You can copy parts of the history to the Windows clipboard. ([toptechtidbits.com](https://www.toptechtidbits.com/141.html?utm_source=openai))  \n- To clear the history: **JAWS Key + SPACE + SHIFT + H** (this resets the history). ([toptechtidbits.com](https://www.toptechtidbits.com/141.html?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## When to use each\n\n| Use case | Best feature |\n|----------|----------------|\n| Seeing every spoken phrase as it happens | **Text Viewer** |\n| Reviewing a dialog box you just closed, error messages, or output you missed | **Speech History** |\n\n---\n\nIf you're not sure which JAWS Key you are using (Insert, CapsLock, or Numpad 0), I can help you find that setting too\u2014just let me know your keyboard type (desktop vs laptop) or version of JAWS."

However, I found legitimate contact points you can use to report accessibility issues, give feedback, or connect with Microsoft\u2019s disability support teams. Here are those details:\n\n---\n\n## Microsoft Disability Answer Desk (DAD)\n\nThe **Disability Answer Desk** is Microsoft\u2019s official support channel for users with disabilities. While it isn\u2019t exactly a listserv or group email list, it *is* a place you can send messages to report issues like screen reader bugs or accessibility problems in Microsoft products.\n\n- For general support (phone or chat), the number is **1-800-936-5900**. ([microsoft.com](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/accessibility/disability-answer-desk?utm_source=openai))  \n- For American Sign Language (ASL) support via video, call **1-503-427-1234**. ([content.govdelivery.com](https://content.govdelivery.com/attachments/MILEO/2024/02/22/file_attachments/2791237/Microsoft%20Accessibility%20Features%20Win%2011%202024.pdf?utm_source=openai))  \n- The Microsoft Disability Answer Desk handles feedback, questions, and issues related to accessibility and assistive technologies such as screen readers. ([microsoft.com](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/accessibility/disability-answer-desk?utm_source=openai))  \n\nYou can find the latest contact information and hours here: **Microsoft Accessibility \u2192 Disability Answer Desk Support**. ([microsoft.com](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/accessibility/disability-answer-desk?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## Alternative Ways to Send Microsoft Feedback on Accessibility\n\nIf you don\u2019t want to call or use chat, there are other established feedback pathways:\n\n1. **In-App Feedback**  \n   Microsoft 365 (like Word, Outlook, PowerPoint) apps include a *Help \u2192 Feedback* function. You can describe what you're seeing, attach screenshots, and mark your feedback as being related to accessibility. ([support.microsoft.com](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/how-do-i-give-feedback-on-microsoft-365-2b102d44-b43f-4dd2-9ff4-23cf144cfb11?utm_source=openai))\n\n2. **Online Feedback Tools / Forms**  \n   Microsoft asks for feedback via its website for Microsoft 365, and there's also an enterprise option for those using Microsoft products in organizations. ([support.microsoft.com](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/how-do-i-give-feedback-on-microsoft-365-2b102d44-b43f-4dd2-9ff4-23cf144cfb11?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\nIf you like, I can check deeply whether a *specific listserv or mailing list* exclusively for screen reader users exists (independent community or Microsoft-hosted). Would you prefer me to look into that?"
