[orca-list] clickables that appear to do nothing

["B. Henry" <burt1iband gmail com>]

I often use 
Voice of America special-English media in my English classes, and for the first time since the new orca 
changes 
in navigation have been introduced went to a VOA-SE site to download some material for a student. 
Every word in the article is spoken as clickable, but nothing that orca can see seems to happen when one 
tries to interact 
with one of these clickables. I think that one is supposed to be ablue to get a deffinition of any word in 
these texts as 
they are intended for those who are learning English, but hearing clickable text for each word readmakes the 
page pretty 
much unusable. 
I'd neverthought of pages such as this, but this is not the only site with something similar. Some method 
must be 
inplemented to turn off these announcements of clickable when they are of no value to the reader, or some 
users will 
certainly have a rather annoying problem to say the least. 
I did try with carrot browsing on and off, and tried to stick focus mode in case these would have some 
effect, but they 
did not. 
Here's a page where you can find this behavior. 
http://learningenglish.voanews.com/content/security-privacy-debate-after-photo-hacked/2439141.html
Just navigate down to the main article below the download and print links and use up and down arrows to read. 
If there is some way to avoid the announcement of clickable for material like this, please let me know about 
it. 
I really do not know if this would be hard to control, but I think a shortcut to toggle announcement of 
clickables would 
be very useful.
