Accessibility / Screen Readers / JAWS Helper / JAWS Helper Simple
The JAWS Helper (short version) bookmarklet displays a simplified quick reference guide for testing with the JAWS screen reader. Shows a modal panel with essential keyboard shortcuts for reading, navigation, landmarks, and element lists. Includes a compact table with core commands like stop reading, continuous reading, tab navigation, landmark/region navigation, and elements list. References Deque University for more comprehensive shortcuts. Useful for testers needing a quick reference during audits. Close with X, clicking outside, or pressing Escape.
