Hi Sarah I think I might have been unclear here, if I read what you're saying rightly, (a lot of spelling errors), :)
But if I understand you correctly, that would only work on specific file. What I want to happen is to have the finder voice the file type correctly each time it encounters a file of that type, not an individual, specific file. So I don't think that will work, again, if I understand your message correctly.

Now show the labels colomn in th efinder and you are good to go.
