Hi Seth!
I am not a JAWS expert but I hope I can shed some light!
Some screen readers like JAWS may announce "blank" when it encounters an empty block element in the HTML. This is quite normal, and I believe most screen reader users have accustomed to ignoring this.
I'm curious to know what you are trying to read continuously and which shortcut you are using so I can compare it with my experience. What I can imagine is you are reading a paragraph, but then JAWS would stop at one point without completing it. I believe there's a maximum length it reads, and is configurable in its settings. Do tell!
Regards,
Marvie
