Ah!

That works more like it.

Cool. I have a little trouble with the voice, a little difficult to hear 
particularly over Jaws but without Jaws it would probably be better.

I am guessing that with dial-up the delay would be unacceptable but here it 
isn't much.

Very clever.

  You will at this stage need to tab onto the buttons to in fact focus windows 
on them as such since just normally moving around in the screen reader virtual 
viewer doesn't really focus on them as far as javascript is concerned.

  If you are using jaws, and you route jaws to virtual cursor, it should also 
speak since I have also attached the playing of the relevant sound clips to the 
mouse cursor hover event, but anyway.

  Thanks for trying it out...<smile>

  Stay well

    Hi Jacob,

    When I press space on a location I do hear "knot" but moving around I get 
nothing else. If I space on a button I have already checked I hear sorry but I 
don't hear the state of the button when landing on it. I take it I should?

    The delay isn't bad, an interesting approach.

    Cool.

    Dale Leavens.

      There should now be a form of narration in that when you focus on one of 
the buttons, or even hover a mouse cursor over it, you should hear the 
narrative sound clips, etc.

      Issue is still something to do with preload timeframes etc., since even 
though the sound clips are pretty small/tiny, it still pauses a bit, but 
anyway...

      Stay well
