The talker shouldn't have anything to say once the mouse is inside the AudioTac frame. I just tested it on the computer in my office, which is a rather old Dell machine running XP and I don't see that effect. The audio output is really good regardless of whether NVDA is or is not running. Dick Baldwin On Mon, Nov 7, 2011 at 4:30 PM, Amanda Lacy <lacy925@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > ** > I'm surprised.
