<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Carrie,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have been testing Hypothesis with JAWS this week actually. I had the same roadblock and just today was documenting steps required to get it to work. The Annotate and Highlight tools do not appear because the text selection with JAWS occurs
in the virtual buffer, not on the true page itself, so the page is unaware of your selection. You need to use a combination of Caret Browsing, the JAWS cursor, and passing through keys. Here are the steps I’ve come up with (this was within Canvas integration):<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<ol style="margin-top:0in" start="1" type="1">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="color:black;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1;vertical-align:baseline">
<span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Once the Hypothesis page (module or assignment) that you want is loaded within Canvas, turn on Caret Browsing (F7)<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="color:black;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1;vertical-align:baseline">
<span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Navigate to the text you want to select for annotation or highlight as usual with the virtual cursor<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="color:black;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1;vertical-align:baseline">
<span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Determine the number of characters you want to select from start to finish.<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="color:black;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1;vertical-align:baseline">
<span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Return the virtual cursor to the start location for your selection<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="color:black;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1;vertical-align:baseline">
<span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Route JAWS cursor to PC cursor (INSERT + NUM PAD MINUS)<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="color:black;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1;vertical-align:baseline">
<span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Simulate left click at that location with FOREWARD SLASH<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="color:black;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1;vertical-align:baseline">
<span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Use SHIFT + RIGHT ARROW to highlight the number of characters that you previously determined you need to select (there will be no audible feedback, hence the need to pre-determine the number of characters, but you
could copy and paste this selection to another document, such as Notepad, to confirm you correctly selected the text you wanted).<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="color:black;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1;vertical-align:baseline">
<span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Use pass through modifier INSERT + NUM ROW 3 then A (to trigger annotation button) or H (to trigger highlight button). If you trigger an annotation, then focus moves to the sidebar automatically. If you trigger a
highlight, then focus does not move to the sidebar and you will have to navigate there separately. Switch back to Virtual PC Cursor. To get to the Hypothesis sidebar quickly use CTRL + INSERT + B to bring up the list of buttons and go to the “Annotation sidebar
button” and toggle it to expand the sidebar.<o:p></o:p></span></li></ol>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I hope this helps. It appears Hypothesis is aware of text selection being difficult in JAWS and NVDA. I was pointed to this backlog item of theirs when I reached out to them asking for help.
<a href="https://github.com/hypothesis/product-backlog/issues/1148">https://github.com/hypothesis/product-backlog/issues/1148</a>. I was going to come up with the steps in NVDA as well, but haven’t gotten to that yet.<o:p></o:p></p>

keyboard in JAWS. When I select the text with my mouse, the tools do appear. It's almost as if the Hypothesis website isn't recognizing the JAWS text selection. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
