When Jaws is on low verbosity it automatically reads what radio button is
checked on a website when you check it. I want this on medium but can't
figure out what is checked on low verbosity that is making this happen any
help is appreciated.

verbosity settings
Hi Dennis,
See if what you need is in this note from what's new:
New Verbosity Options for the Virtual Cursor
When reading content using the Virtual Cursor, JAWS alerts you to the
beginning and end of various elements such as lists, tables, and regions.
With JAWS
support for ARIA continuing to improve and web developers becoming more
aware of accessible design, the amount of extra information provided by the
Virtual Cursor can become overwhelming when you just want to focus on the
page content. To make it easier to determine what is spoken, JAWS now offers
three levels of verbosity for the Virtual Cursor, giving you control over
how much detail you want to hear when reading various web content. The three
levels are:
list of 3 items
. High - JAWS speaks the most information about elements on the page or
inside a document. Everything is announced at this level.
. Medium - This level is configured to provide the best user experience on
most pages and documents and is the default verbosity level.
. Low - JAWS speaks as little structural information as possible about the
elements on a page or inside a document.
list end
To choose a verbosity level, do the following:
list of 5 items
1. Press INSERT+F2, and select Settings Center.
2. In the Search edit box, type "web verbosity" without the quotes.
3. Press DOWN ARROW to move to "Verbosity Level" in the filtered search
results in the tree view.
4. Press SPACEBAR to choose the level you want.
5. Press ENTER to save your change and close Settings Center.
list end
You can also choose a Virtual Cursor verbosity level to be active for a
specific website. From the website where you want to use a different
verbosity level, press INSERT+V to open Quick Settings, navigate to the
Personalized Web Settings group, and press SPACEBAR on Verbosity Level to
choose the verbosity level you want for the current site.
Each verbosity level is preset to provide the most optimal experience.
However, just like with speech verbosity, each level can be further
customized to give only the information you want to hear. For example, you
may want to continue using the default Medium verbosity level, but you may
want JAWS to announce a couple more elements that are not spoken by default
at this level.
To customize a verbosity level, open Settings Center, expand the
Web/HTML/PDFs group, expand the Reading group, and expand the Configure
Verbosity Levels group. Next, press the SPACEBAR on the verbosity level you
want to customize. A dialog box opens containing a tree view listing the
structural elements that can be announced by the Virtual Cursor. Use the
SPACEBAR to select or clear an element and then choose OK to save your
changes.
Take care. Mike. Go Dodgers!

Hi, I am trying to customize the new web settings. I do an insert V I check
what I want for the level. How do I change what is spoken under that level?
Thanks for your help.
