This helps in NVDA: It automatically switches into application mode when focus 
lands inside the uploader (saying the word "application") and then the feedback 
is as I described under "Focus mode." Interestingly, you can't manually switch 
between modes...

Unfortunately, the application role doesn't seem to make any difference in Jaws 
- version 11, at least.

It doesn't say anything specific. The only clue is the fact that it doesn't 
read any file names.

Yep, it seems completely reasonable to me.

Yes, I discussed this with Mike a bit. It might be a good idea to add 
instructions.

>> With focus on the upload button hit Enter: hear "Stop upload, to activate

>> Trying again with more files: "Stop upload, to activate press space bar,

I think it's just a timing issue: I suspect the screen reader was just busy 
ready the final percentage when the complete event happened, and it missed it.
