Hi all.Yes, those fields are not voiced when navigating to them. E.G. the e- mail field. I did find, however, that pressing VO+h will read the help tag associated with that field. It's a work-around, but perhaps not something one would want to be doing all the time especially if entering lots of information.

Greg,You are correct and you have put this very well. Please send a copy of that message to Apple.Keith Reedy On Mar 31, 2008, at 11:29 PM, Greg Kearney wrote:I have found the following bug in the address book with VoiceOver:Field types are not voiced. When you navigate over a field the information expected is not voiced. For example in the Email field you will hear Work, Edit text blank but not the fact that the edit text field is expecting an email address. How would a blind person know what this field expected for content? This is true with all fields that have visual but not audible indications of the type of information expected.Inconsistent voicing of text being entered. In a phone field for example it is common that VoiceOver will not voice the first number entered. Sometimes it fails to voice other letters or numbers.Greg Kearney 535 S.
