Re: Excessive VO chatter:

[Kevin Reeves]

In a sense, this user is right. In jaws, you can tap the shift key and it 
will skip prompts. This way, you can bypass stuff that you don't need to 
hear. Also, reading messages in mail does  take a million years as compared 
to jaws because it announces way too much information. In outlook express, I 
can bang through about 100 messages in 30 minutes because I can very quickly 
hear the name, subject, and whether or not it's collapsed or expanded. Vo 
reads something like "disclosure triangle expanded, unread, date, name, 
subject." Way way way too much info. I can see this person's point, but not 
worth giving up the mac for. Until there is some kind of vurbosity setting 
like in Jaws, I'll stick to outlook express on  windows because of the speed 
factor. Don't get me wrong, I love Vo and mail. I use it all the time. But 
for extended email checking, outlook wins out.
