JAWS 30th Anniversary Training: Use JAWS Text Analyzer to Proof Documents

---

October 30, 2025

Text Analyzer is a JAWS feature introduced in 2010 that helps you proof documents more proficiently. When editing or proofreading a document, inconsistencies such as unmatched parentheses, unintentional format changes, extra whitespace, and stray or unspaced punctuation can often be missed, especially when using speech only. Text Analyzer is a tool that provides notifications of these errors in a document by speaking a message or playing a sound.

In this training, we provide an overview of Text Analyzer, show you how to access it in Settings Center, and demonstrate how to use it to proofread a document.
