There is only one level of verbosity in vo and that verbosity is adjusted as
to specific charasterics rather than levels from none to most. Punctuation
is a different matter.

Subject: [macvoiceover] Re: verbosity on VO
Hi John,
What I'm referring to are the verbosity settings in JAWS and VO -
there are actual settings - verbosity ratings - and while they may
seem insignificant they matter to those who wouldn't necessarily have
access to a mac and aren't getting the right feedback from the online
demos. The online demos of VO don't give the range of verbosity
settings that are available in VO, as I'm sure you know.
Also the point of me sending this email out is to inquire as to how to
compare the settings of both JAWS and VO without testing it myself.
We can't discount people's relation to their technology because it
doesn't *seem* important - everyone understands operating systems and
techno-language in their own way. If verbosity settings and the
numbers related to weren't important they wouldn't exist, would they?
