I really like this feature in Safari, although sometimes I've
noticed that sometimes VO doesn't announce the filed name? I daunt
know if it is something to with VO, or whether the page itself is
at fault. Have you noticed this yourself.
That's a problem in WIndows screen readers frequently too, so
certainly not Mac specific. Usually examining the immediate area
around the field will tip you off to what the field name is.
James went on to ask:
please give me an example of what you meant when you said "...
WIndows users are so used to their screen reader doing everything
for them"
The above was one example...jumping to form fields. Another is the
scripting issue, as AppleScript is far more powerful than Jaws
scripts or Window-Eyes set files. Neither feature has anything to do
with VoiceOver and are frequently overlooked by users who expect to
find that functionality in their screen reader instead as part of the
OS.
