Smart Glance highlights in JAWS are visually distinctive pieces of text on a web page, such as bold, colored, or uniquely formatted content that stands out from the rest. JAWS detects these highlights to help you quickly find important information that might not be marked as a heading or link. This feature is especially useful for catching key points, warnings, or visually emphasized content that could otherwise be missed.

Top Tech Tidbits Publisher Aaron Di Blasi welcomes Accessible Data, the London-based, IDA-co-designed, UN-trusted survey platform led by co-founder and CEO Jerry Nicholson, to the Top Tech Tidbits Sponsor family.

Leave a CommentHere, Aaron Di Blasi, Publisher for the Top Tech Tidbits weekly newsletter, announces the launch of independent, LinkedIn-verified Audience Insight reports, an answer to the question Sponsors have been asking him for nearly two decades: who, exactly, reads Top Tech Tidbits each week? On May 15, 2026, the publication uploaded a hashed copy of its email list to LinkedIn Matched Audiences. LinkedIn matched 38,910 of 45,776 subscribers against active member profiles, an 85% match rate well above LinkedIn’s published 30-60% B2B baseline. The new Audience Insights page publishes twelve full demographic panels (top job functions, seniority, industries, employers, geography, skills, and content interests) drawn from those verified profiles, with quarterly regenerations on the calendar to give Sponsors a continuing third-party view of audience composition over time.

JAWS can also read the formula, which helps ensure accuracy, especially when checking for errors or verifying results. Reading formulas is also important when auditing someone elseβs spreadsheet, since it allows you to confirm that calculations are logical and correct. It can also help you learn Excel syntax by hearing how formulas are structured, and makes troubleshooting easier when results donβt look right.
