Hi all,
I am listening to the file manager and wordprocessor demo by Raul and Jeremy. The interface, such as moving through a file list or menu, seems unnecessarily verbose. For example, in a menu, could you not have the type of interface that an option would open spoken? The "goto" menu in the wordprocessor has an item something like: "search, s, common dialog, space-f". I do not care that the find will be a common dialog, I just want it spoken and that is it. Similarly, is it necessary to say "list item" after each file? Of course they are all list items; it is a list of files and folders! The main programs menu does not do this, so why does it everywhere else? Again, I am not a user, so could anyone comment on this? Is it something you do not even notice, or does anyone think that the interface can get too verbose at times? Sorry for all the questions. If it makes you feel better, I will probably be calling GWM Monday and keeping some poor customer service rep on the phone with my "newbie" questions until well after the point at which, were this poor fellow not trapped on the other side of the phone, he would have throttled me. :) Thanks for your patience; it is really hard to understand a device like this without being able to actually use one, even for ten minutes!!

Have a great day,
Alex
