I'd only like this idea if it were optional, and not the default settings. Sometimes I share articles from newspapers and cut and copy the contents, putting the article name in the subject line. Currently as I alt-tab about, I know that I land in the ie 8 window or the outlook express windw, which is helpful.

This is a nice feature, but it has a small drawback: If you, for instance, alt-tab to your Notepad window, it will read 'My Document.txt - notepad'. Same in Internet Explorer, and in Outlook Express, it would read the Folder, and then tell you it is in 'Outlook Express'. It is nice, in some cases I guess, to have the full window title spoken. But in most cases, I only need to know ONE of the two parts of the Title. In most cases, when I alt-tab through my open windows, I don't need to be reminded if I am in Notepad, Internet Explorer, Word or whatever. All I do need, is to know, exactly which document/webpage/folder I am in. In other words, it would be enough for me to hear 'My Document.txt', 'GWMicro.com', 'Inbox', and so forth. Specially the way it is now, you get tired of hearing all the application names spoken, when you do an excessive amount of alt-tabbing back and forth through a couple of hours. Say you have a Word document open, and then do some research on the internet, making notes in Word. You Alt-Tab to Word, get the 'Notes.doc - Word', message, do a bit of typing, Alt-Tab back to IE, and hear 'Wikipedia.com - Internet Explorer', spoken. Do this Alt-Tabbing back and forth 20 times the next hour, and your ears are filled to the extend, they are about to fall off, with the 'WORD', and 'INTERNET EXPLORER' phrases. In general, it is to be prefered, that you get the least amount of words spoken, that is needed to have you do your job the most effectively. Well, at least for oldtime-runners, this will be the case. So, could there please, be an extra checkbox in the Verbose menu, that would tell WE whether or not to include the App-name in the Window title? It sure would have made my ears happy, and I guess many with me. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I am using the Free version of SPAMfighter.
