Hi Scotty and Everyone,
Okay, I did just exactly what you said, and I went into IE9 and
loaded the form that I have to fill out every single night. I turned
off browse mode, as to answer the questions, and it still says "Edit
box" and doesn't read the fields.
On every single question, it reads only the "Edit Box". It's a total
pain to have to take Browse mode off and on to fill out this form.
Here are some of the questions below. There is an edit box under each
question: so I put the words "Edit box.
This is just to show you that Window-Eyes does not read this form at
all with Browse Mode off. It reads it fine with Browse Mode on.
1. What time did you get into bed to go to sleep last night?
Edit Box
2. What time did you wake up this morning?
Edit Box
3. Please rate the quality of last night's sleep on a scale of
one to ten, with one
being defined as restless and ten being very sound.
Edit Box
4. How rested do you feel? Please rate this on a scale of one
to ten, with one being
exhausted and ten being very refreshed.
Edit Box
5. On a scale of one to ten, how did you feel during the day with one
being defined
as extremely tired and ten being rested and full of energy.
Edit Box
6. How many naps did you take today?
Edit Box
7. If so, what time did you take the naps?
Edit Box
8. What was the total amount of time you were asleep during those naps?
Edit Box
And there you have it. That is just some of the questions. Just for
an example of what this form looks like.
Thanks much.

Go into Browse Mode, then down to Forms and use the Tab key
until it reads:
Speak Fieldsets Global.
It's probably set to No, so arrow up to Yes and save your settings.

Where did you change that setting in Window-Eyes?
I just bet that will allow me to do my nightly sleep study form
with Window-Eyes.
Thanks.

I changed a setting in Forms in the Browse Mode and it allowed
Window Eyes to see the question being asked.
Granted it asked the question before and after the Yes/No radio
buttons but at least it did read it.
The setting I changed was:
Speak Fieldsets Yes.

I was going to fill out the survey, but after the first combo box
I notice the check boxes didn't specify what they wanted
checked. Right then and there I new 10 minutes was BS and I
closed the page. Maybe they ought to do a survey on doing survays.

WebAIM Survey on Screen ReadersWhy couldn't Window Eyes see the
questions relating to the Yes No radio buttons with the Arrow
keys, you have to use the mouse keys to read the text of the questions.
Tried the questionaire with NVDA and it read the question out
before the radio buttons.

Greetings,
WebAIM is holding a follow-up survey regarding screen readers.
Here is information on the survey according to the website:
"This survey is primarily intended to collect new information
and track updates/trends from previous surveys. By completing
this survey you will help inform development choices for those
creating accessible web content and web standards. All screen
reader users, even those who use screen readers only for
evaluation and testing, are invited to participate."
GW Micro strongly encourages all Window-Eyes users, Window-Eyes
app developers, and anyone using Window-Eyes for testing to take
the WebAIM screen reader survey before time is up. The survey
should only take approximately 10 minutes and is only open until
through May 25, 2012.
If your email client does not support links, you may copy and
paste the following link into your browser to take the survey:
