Think of the way Window-eyes works and you'll have some idea which things you can turn off and which you cannot.

I heard about that in the options menu, but when the demonstrator set it to "off", it still said "list item" after the option, which made me think it would work only on some information, not all. If you turn this off, for example, will a yes or no prompt say "yes" or "confirm" only, instead of "yes button" or whatever it says?
