Gegroet Ineke, well, thank you for clarification, but ain't this rather a problem in screenreader programming since these obviously don't represent the (more or less) natural flow and extensions of a language? Language is context sensitive (take the email example), and if it's impossible (what I think it is) to develop an application which is really able to understand (not to read) language, this problem will simply never be solved. And also imagine there are new or made-up words in a language, should they be ignored since any new e.g. JAWS version doesn't support it? And for what version of an e.g. screenreader should an author 'optimize' his site? Is it at least realistic? Best regards, Jens. PS. I absolutely agree that this problem exists, but I'm not sure if it can or even should be solved (perhaps even violently, as I perceive these ideas). -- Jens Meiert Interface Architect http://meiert.com/
