Well, I've really examined carefully everything in the Verbosity settings, but have found nothing that sounds like selecting no would stop the reading of more than the word "link" during read-to-end. Now I'm still running Win-Eyes 7.5.45.1, so maybe it has been implemented since then. I sure hope so, because I have version 8.4 on hand, but am waiting to install it on a new computer, because this one runs Windows XP still. Are you sure, Jim, that you can initiate read-to-end in a document containing those terrible long links, as in a sample of Top Tech Tidbits, for example, and not hear the contents of thos long links?

Hi, You can turn off the reading of links during read to end if you like. Simply use the verbosity option to do this.

It's becoming more and more annoying to me to have to listen to the reading of endless links, many many of which are now extending out to three and four lines in length, and what's more, the authors of most of such articles don't even have the courtesy to go to the trouble of resuming the text on a new line! I find it extremely tedious to listen to, not to mention the gradual drop in pitch of my Eloquence voice into his boots until he can't go any lower! Am I really the only one who is bothered by this? Couldn't GW do something about it? It seems to me that all that is needed is that the screen reader might just delete the reading of the entire link when in read-to-end mode, and maybe just say the word link, or long URL, or some such. Reserve the reading of such trash for the arrow keys. Since I thought all links are blue onscreen, it shouldn't be impossible to execute such a modification.
