Being somewhat new to WE, today I listened to the WE 9.0 tutorials and learned about the Information Selection (Insert + Tab) dialog. Being eager to try this out on a document that I am currently reviewing, I hit the keys and WE stopped talking for about 30 seconds. Only once in many attemps did it let me know it was building the information. Even Alt Tabbing to other programs did not revive WE speech.
The document that I am working on contains 414 pages, 673 revisions, 83 objects, 314 tables, 2 bookmarks and, being technical in nature, many perceived misspellings. Once the dialog finally opens, navigating through the radio buttons to select what information to choose will also sometimes take many seconds with WE not talking. While the response of this dialog is quite reasonable for small documents, I think an architectural change is needed for it to be usable for large documents. It might be better to build this information in the background so that when the key combination is selected, the data is already present and the response can be very quick. At the present time, I feel that this dialog is not usable for large documents with a lot of items that are selectable with this dialog box.
