That's good. I originally thought the solution would be something to do
with JAWS speaking OnMouseover elements. And I've now seen the cartoon
described using the Graphic OnMouseover verbosity.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Found solution to balloon hot key
A very simple solution. I figured there was but just overlooked it. If
you want to read those little balloon things, you just need to set your
user verbocity settings so your graphics are recognized by mouse over
text and not alt text which is the default. Sorry to ask and then find
the solution myself but maybe this helps someone else :).

TJ,
Thanks for that suggestion. I've created frames before and that might
work yes. I don't mean this antagonistically but I did try another
screen reader and when I popped up that address I gave, I heard it
pop open that balloon and speak it right after the title bar of the
browser without having to do anything. I say that to say I'd bet
there is a way for Jaws to read those without extra programming. The
frame idea is a good one though and perhaps that will be the way it
will need to be.

Hello Brad,
One approach to your read balloon hotkey might be to build a frame
to speak.
It would require that the text or balloon that appears would have
to appear in a similar part of the screen every time. You could then
create a frame to read that area of the screen and use a hotkey to
read the frame.
I have not created a frame in a while, but if I remember correctly
it is not to difficult.
Especially if you are going to call tech support anyway, you could
have them or some one else to help you create the frame.
Just a thought
TJ

The greater danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and
we miss it,
but that it is too low and we reach it
