I would rather hear that "clickable," for the reasons you mentioned.

Hey Cristobal. Yes, I know I can disable it, but having JAWS detect these elements is potentially useful. It just seems like it's doing it wrong, and I'd like to know why that is. I know I'm not the only one; does everyone else just turn the whole thing off, or live with it? -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Cristóbal Sent: January 10, 2018 7:03 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Why does JAWS say "clickable" when it isn't? Disable the detect elements setting in your Jaws settings. Going off of memory so the exact terminology may be off, but it's easy to find. I'm sure someone else will provide step by step instructions if needed. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of JM Casey Sent: Wednesday, January 10, 2018 4:00 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [JAWS-Users] Why does JAWS say "clickable" when it isn't? Hey everyone. I know this topic came up here some time ago, but I'm afraid it wasn't relevant to me at the time and wasn't a thread I took the time to read. So, sorry for bringing it up again. But yes, I was just wondering about this. I understand that there often *is* "clickable" text on a webpage, and JAWS is trying to inform me of this fact. But on many pages, every line will say "clickable", even though there is nothing to click/nothing happens when you click. Why is this? And can I get a happy medium somewhere? Obviously I don't want to miss important information about a page, but when I'm reading a wikipedia article or IMDB review or something and hear "clickable, clickable, clickable", on what appears to be static text - that just seems like weird, excessive noise.
