[GUI-Talk] Jaws 2025

[Farwaneh, Samira - (farwaneh)]

Hello Everyone

I just updated to Jaws 2025, and I noticed a new feature which I find quite annoying. When reading a word file that includes a list of any kind, Jaws keeps reading: entering list; exiting list; entering list; exiting list . . .
Since most of my academic work includes bulleted and numbered lists, hearing this constantly became quit annoying.
I checked the Jaws quick settings for relief, but nothing applies. I asked and was told that this is a new feature of 2025 and cannot be disabled.
Is anybody experiencing this and did you find a way around it? I switched back to J2024 until FS creates a setting to disable this feature.

Many thanks for your input
Samira
