Hi Susan,

I haven't done this yet, but am planning to soon, in ... July?...

I have the word from Sweetman Systems 
thatJaws+Surface is possible, using, for example, 
the Logitech K810 bluetooth keyboard.

As with most setups these days, the trick is to 
configure the function keys to behave like 
standard function keys. There's a utility from 
Logitech to do the necessary remap.

the Type Cover for the Surface is also an option. 
Here again, function keys need to be switched to 
old-fashioned mode (using FN+CAPSLOCK). 
Apparently the FN & Right Shift keys are in 
non-standard locations, so beware of that.
