  I am responding to your post because it is relevant to the work I am doing 
too.  I am working on MP3 players for the visually impaired, as in this day and 
age of MP3 music and YouTube Videos, web content for this community is 
becomming limited. 

  What I have found is that I have to place separate text over each button to 
have the screen readers recognize it.  I have mentioned this to the NVDA 
developers and they are aware that certain content whether it be flash or 
software applications need to have separate text identifiers.  

  As a developer, this has created multiple coding for me, one for the button 
action, one for the function and one for the text to be read describing what to 
do.  

  As soon as I have the Flash prototype ready, it will be presented to the NVDA 
developers as they are interested in my development and use of their screen 
reader.  So far so good with that.

  I also use Audacity - it's a great application, so I will send my flash 
widget/application/prototype to the Audacity developers so they can get an idea 
of how I got the screen readers work with my application.  

  These MP3 players will be available free of charge to the visually impaired.  
This is the MP3 player that got this project started, if anyone is interested.

  www.mypsace.com/dkriese you will see the player I made for blind musician 
Kevin Brown.
  A portion I found could be read by the screen reader when I was testing it on 
my computer.

    I may send a report to the development team.  However, my concern was not
    just with Audacity.  If it only sees radio buttons in this program in 
    certain dialogs and no associated text, the text isn't seen on the screen at
    all which is demonstrated by using insert b to read the entire window, then
    this may be a problem that will be seen in other programs as well.  How 
many 
    I don't know but I thought the NVDA developers might want to examine  the
    method used to display such text to determine the extent and ease of
    solution.
