Charles, I'd be guessing complete, but ... sometimes web sites use an add-on program like flash, or even just java scripts, which change the web site as you move around the page. either move the focus, or move the mouse pointer, and these programs sense that, and maybe show you different options. or sometimes it's not that complicated; sometimes you just click on the "listen" link, and a little popup pops up to ask you "mp3 or windows media player?", but your screen reader doesn't see that, and doesn't read it to you. I know your frustration though: I gave $150 donation to public radio, for this little device that's supposed to let me press a button, and later hear whatever public radio show again, that I was listening to then. you just plug this little fob into your computer's usb drive. unfortunately, their player isn't compatible with screen readers, and I can't get to it's controls to start it playing or pause it. I eventually found a way to work around it, but it's annoying!.
