Hi Gary,
Did you find the radio button in the WE control panel where you can
choose what happens when you go in and out of browse mode, that is,
speech and/or sounds?
The path to the setting in the tree view is Verbosity, Browse mode,
Autoload; then, tab to all the related settings.
hth,
Rod

It caused me confusion because I got no indication that it was turned

hit tab with the expected results. It took a while before I figured
out what was happening.

Hi Marc,
Thanks for this. I tend to be more of a control freak when it
comes to browse mode; but, I'm wondering whether you personally
like the Auto Form Interaction, and whether it causes you
confusion at all.
Thanks,
Rod

I wanted to add a few more details about the auto form
interaction feature for those who are interested in how it
works. Juan already pointed out how this feature can be enabled
or disabled using the Browse Mode verbosity options in the
Window-Eyes control panel. This is good to know in case you want
to go back to the old way of always manually turning Browse Mode
on and off. If you decide to stick with auto form interaction,
here are the scenarios that I am aware of in which Window-Eyes
will automatically turn off Browse Mode for you:
<!--[if !supportLists]-->1.<!--[endif]-->When your focus starts
in an edit box when a web page is first loaded (e.g. Google,
banking sites where you start in the username edit box). Your
initial focus is controlled by the design of the web page.
<!--[if !supportLists]-->2.<!--[endif]-->When you click in an
edit box or any other type of form control that requires Browse
Mode be turned off to interact with using the mouse pointer
<!--[if !supportLists]-->3.<!--[endif]-->When you Tab or
Shift-Tab into an edit box or other type of form control that
requires Browse Mode be turned off to interact with

OK, I haven't seen this anywhere except for Google with IE 11, on
Windows 8.1, Window-Eyes 8.4, but I'm noticing that as soon as I
open and navigate to google, my focus gets put in the search edit
field, which is fine, but it's automatically making me have to
turn browse mode back on with ctrl+shift+A. the only other way
to navigate the google page is to tab once to the google search
button, again to the I'm feeling lucky button, and then one more
time to the first link on the page past that point. It's very
awquared having it do this. Again, it's not doing it on any
other page from what I can see. I'm just wonderring why it's
doing this, and is there a way to turn that off, so that as soon
as I open google's web site, I immediately, once loaded
completely, can start just down arrowing through the content?
It's kind of aggrevating otherwise.
Chris.
