Re: [orca-list] Should Orca announce when entering and/or exiting lists, tables, etc. during caret navigation?

[Alfonzo Cuellar <sunrisingsoul gmail com>]

Hey there, Joanie, I hope all is well. Perhaps do the following for this 
type of behavior.

Suggestions:

Suggestion 1
In the verbose section of Speech, maybe have three profiles.

One for Brief, as that is already there.
One for Verbose, as that is already there as well, which iwll give 
verbosity with orca to those who are new users or just getting to know 
orca, or just like the verbosity.

The brief can be set to lower verbosity down a notch, to give just the 
needed verbose elements.

Then add a Custom Verbose selection where the user can fine tune their 
verbosity. Which would provide a table of elements to control verbosity 
and would include various setings for element navigation and how things 
are read.

As for the entering list, and exiting list, entering tables, and exiting 
tables, I think this should be in the verbose setting at least, and if 
set to brief, the needed elements to navigate in terms of what is 
announced is presented to the user.

The custom, as said again, will allow to fine tune the verbosity.

This way, as the user knows how to use or handle orca in how it reads 
layouts and such, the user can just change the verbosity settings to 
their liking.

Suggestion 2
Or add a new entry into the speech dialog for Tables and List readouts.

There can be settings for announcements that are for entrance, exiting, 
row announcement, column announcements for the Table Section, and for 
Lisd a settings that controls announcements of entering and exiting lists.

I think control is the best approach here.

Hope these suggestions help out some.
