Multi-tab windows in Internet Explorer 7 are a good thing, and Screamer Radio
if you call that accessible then you need to get to know your screen reader a
bit better, buddy. To here the correct percentage, press insert up arrow, a
simple keystroke which all JAWS users should know, as it is very useful and
also as it is one of the most simple commands in JAWS, even beginners should
know that one.

Subject: Jaws 8, screamer radio and other
| How many among you, use this program by which it's possible through
| an Internet connection to listen to a variety of worldwide radios?
| With version 6 of jaws, moving the arow keys up and down the volume
| percentage is correctly read. So that a blind user knows the exact
| volume level in that moment.
| This doesn't happen anymore with jaws 8, where - after setting the
| slider at a certain percentage - you must press tab and then
| shift-tab so that jaws reads the value.
| Very comfortable, isn't it?
| What about reassigning the class window in that position? Until today
| afternoon I won't be able to try this tweak, since only at 16 I'll be
| back home, where jaws 8 and screamer are installed.
|
| My opinions?
| Particularly referring to jaws, internet explorer, skype, microsoft
| office and outlook express transforming into windows mail, is that
| these softwares' way of working is becoming worse and worse. Office
| 2007 with its orizontal menus, Internet Explorer 7 and future
| versions with multi-tabbed browser windows, windows mail very
| inaccessible if writing an html mail, skype occupying more and more
| CPU resources but at the same time imposing strong limits to
| conference and holding/resuming a call.
| Jaws 8, being an update of previous versions, is perhaps better for
| dynamic web pages but for elementary cursor movements, sliders and
| list views reading, seems to be turned back to version beta 0.1!
