if by the title you mean the label of the edit box, then sometimes it is not on the screen reader to fix it but the web developer. for screen reader to read edit boxes label correctly they need to use the label tags around the name of the edit box and use the for attribute to label the box with the input id. if this is not done correctly then you have to go in and out of browse mode to read what the edit box is for. Not sure what kind of things a screen reader can do to help in this but maybe GW Micro knows. if the process above is done correctly then you can use I think alt plus “n” to read the label. otherwise contact the web master and let them know that there edit boxes are not properly labeled
