The Skim Reading feature lets you quickly browse through long documents by reading the first part of each paragraph. To begin skim reading in a document, press CTRL+INSERT+DOWN ARROW. By default, JAWS reads the first line of each paragraph, but you can choose to read the first sentence of each paragraph instead or set up your own skim reading rules. To change your skim reading preferences, press CTRL+SHIFT+INSERT+DOWN ARROW.
Tip: While skim reading, you can begin reading the entire document by pressing INSERT+DOWN ARROW to carry out the Say All command. To begin skim reading again, press CTRL+INSERT+DOWN ARROW.
