Hi Daniel, The progress announcement follows how the download of the page progresses. Depending on Internet traffic, it might start slowly because of a graphic and then speed up when the traffic allows it. JAWS is just following this. When we didn't have it, I would monitor the page download by Insert Page Down. When I heard "Done Internet," I knew the page was fully loaded. Personally, I like the progress announcement, but I know that if I don't want it, I can turn it off.
