Re: About "programmatically determined link context"

Hello David,
Alt+5 does not read the sentence containing the link. That's why in this thread the reference was to Control+numpad 5 for reading para / list items only. 
Alt+numpad5 works to read a plain text sentence inside a paragraph even off the Web.
Yes I agree that technique for reading sentence should be retired.
Kind regards,
Sailesh

 I was
 testing with JAWS 15 with IE 11, and FF29 this morning, and
 checked the command to read the current sentence while
 sitting on a link to get context. ALT+ NUMPAD5 . It only
 read the link not the surrounding sentence. I was testing on
 the Wikipedia home page where a link was in the sentence. I
 also tested the command to read the paragraph CTR+NUMPAD 5
 and it worked fine. This behaviour for both commands was the
 same in FF29. 
 
 
 The command to read
 the sentence does not appear to work anymore unless someone
 finds differently we should probably remove that from the UA
 notes for h78...it does not appear to be in any JAWS
 documentation either. 
 
 
 
 
 Cheers,

 Hello All,
 Ability to "identify the purpose of the
 link without moving focus from the link" is central to
 the principle of the above term and is expanded upon in the
 understanding doc.
 
 This is built upon key-combinations to make a screen reader
 read a sentence / paragraph (or the title of the page /
 application) ... keys that users employ routinely across
 applications including word processing or even on a Web page
 . So these are not obscure key combinations.
 
 This is the minimum  requirement to understand the link
 's purpose in context.
 Placing a link in
 a paragraph or sentence is normal construct; requiring one
 to place aria-labelledby/describedby additionally on
 contextual content is good for more robust / usability but
 may be needed in some situations even to pass SC
  2.4.4.
