Smart Glance highlights in JAWS are visually distinctive pieces of text on a web page, such as bold, colored, or uniquely formatted content that stands out from the rest.
JAWS detects these highlights to help you quickly find important information that might not be marked as a heading or link.
This feature is especially useful for catching key points, warnings, or visually emphasized content that could otherwise be missed.
1.) When a web page loads, JAWS will announce the number of Smart Glance highlights on the page, along with other elements such as headings or Links.
2.) To view a list of all Smart Glance highlights, press CTRL+INSERT+Y. The list will be displayed in the JAWS Virtual Viewer. Navigate this list using your up and down arrow keys, and press ENTER on a highlight to move directly to that text on the page.
3.) When on a page, press Y to move to the next Smart Glance highlight and SHIFT+Y to move to the previous highlight.
