Meet the Next Big Thing 2024 Winner

Thank you for helping to make the second annual Next Big Thing contest an enormous success! If you were unable to attend or want to review the top ideas, the archive is now available.

At the event, the top three finalists presented their feature ideas for JAWS or ZoomText to a live audience and judges. We are excited to announce that the winner of the Next Big Thing 2024 is Robin Christopherson, who presented Smart Screen Review. This JAWS feature takes a snapshot of the screen content, allows you to review it, and activates inaccessible controls.

A big thank you to our other two finalists who also presented their ideas, Linda Coccovizzo with Custom Tandem Codes, and David Kingsbury with the JAWS Setting Enhancement.

Thank you to everyone who submitted an idea. Your imaginative and creative concepts are extremely important in shaping the future of JAWS and ZoomText.

The Next Big Thing is part of Sharkvember, our month-long celebration of accessibility, creativity, and community. As part of Sharkvember, we are providing JAWS, ZoomText, and Fusion keyboard command tips, called “Sharkvember Shortcuts.” Visit the Sharkvember Shortcuts page each weekday for a new tip.
