Re: [orca-list] heads up: beta code for progress bar beeps in orca coming soon

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

For me it's overall, and I'd guess taking it down by 30-40% might be about right for me. It seems louder than 
orca speech which I almost always leave at 
maximum. I'd like this to be quieter than speech for sure.
Thanks for the interest.
