RE: Orca rolenames too long for braille?

["Dorado Martínez, Francisco Javier" <FDMA once es>]

Hi to all 

Mike, I meant that  information for locus of focus  has to be spoken and
brailled the same.. If focus is on a toggle button with an associated label,
the label and the role (toggle button) I think has to be spoken and
brailled.
I understood Rich that this extra information would be speak and not
brailled, and in this case a person that can only read braille will not
access this extra information.
My question would be now
What is extra information? 

Thank you very much, now I set the brailleRoleStyle and the roles are well
presented btn, cbo, chk.... Good!

Regards,

Javier.

We are planning to add braille verbosity levels to handle this.  If the
community feels that abbreviations are generally a better idea I'm opened to
making them the default.

Can you please elaborate on this one I'm not sure I understand what you mean
here.  
Thanks for the feedback
Mike
