Precisely. You need to send that entire message you wrote to

it implemented.

Ironically, when the JAWS Speech and Sounds Manager came to be back in
JAWS 5.0 for Windows, I used to think it was a bug that JAWS
*wouldn’t* take a pause while sounds were playing. In JAWS, the speech
goes on over top of all sounds. However, as I continued to get used to
the JAWS behaviour I realized that it is in fact a huge benefit and
efficiency booster. For example, rather than having JAWS say the word
“link” every time a link is encountered, it can play a subtle clicking
sound. And since that sound doesn’t interrupt the flow of speech, it
lets you get through web pages faster. While you can do this with VO,
the speech pauses whenever the sounds are played, creating less of a
speed improvement.
In any case, it would certainly be nice for this behaviour to be
configurable. In fact, there are probably people who don’t like the
JAWS approach and prefer the way VoiceOver handles this. So
configurability is definitely the key.
Cheers.

Subject: VoiceOver responsive bug

From: Shaf <[email protected]>

I've found a bug with VoiceOver on Mac running latest Yosemite:
Whenever you navigate through items with navigation sounds enabled,
VoiceOver speech will always wait for the sound to finish and then speak
the item focused. This increases the delay a lot. If turning sounds off,
VoiceOver is a lot more responsive as it does not need to render sounds
before speech.
Can we please have an option to play a sound an speak items
simultaneously rather than having to wait for a navigation sound to play
to here what's in focus? This would be much appreciated.
Warm Regards
-Shaf
