Re: [orca-list] off-topic: At a meeting, people say they hear the screen reader.

That'd be my guess. I wonder if they hear it clearly, as if it was being 
used through their own speakers, or faintly in the background. Could be 
audio from the headphones leaking into the mic, and it probably sounds 
close enough to speech that noise cancellation doesn't identify it. I'm 
guessing noise cancellation subtracts the other participant's noise so 
the speakers don't feed back, not your own screen reader, which it 
assumes is someone talking on your end.
