Sure. I can understand your perspective. Look at it this way, though. If some of us didn't listen to the extra verbiage, then possible problems with the screen reader might go undetected, right? I mean, how would anybody know Window-Eyes was interposing other new page information items into the loading page speech. <smile>. Provided someone else can duplicate the phenomenon, that is.

You can turn all that rubbish off in the browse mode verbosity settings. ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, August 19, 2008 7:54 PM Subject: RE: Adding to the confusion. Status messages, number of lines, number of links, frames, tables, lists, paragraphs, headings, forms, anchors, and flash objects. These are the new page information settings I have used since 2001. When a page loads into Browse mode, Window-Eyes typically recites these things in the order they appear in the new page information dialog. Basically, what I expect to hear is, "Loading page, load done, 57 lines, 12 links, etcetera." For some reason, the beta is interposing number of lines and links into its loading page load done message. I know that older versions of WE started running off at the mouth before the browse mode buffer had all the information gathered and Window-Eyes would have to start over again, but in those instances, it would say, for example, "Loading puh, Luh, loading page, load done, 57 lines, 12 links, etcetera." I wonder if anyone else would be interested in reinstalling SAPI Eloquence so we could compare results. Lou N. If you reply to this message it will be delivered to the original sender only.
