JAWS for Windows does. It reads, "North period. South period. East period. West period," as you tab to each link in IE 4.01.

I have a sample image map at http://astro.temple.edu/~kasday/web_access/image_map.html If you have a browser and screenreader... or a browser that combines those functions, would you take a quick look and see if it reads the text labels attached to the selectable area? Please email results back to me at kasday@acm.org . I'll post results back to the list. Thanks! Len p.s. I currently have access to two browsers. Only one of them sees the labels. ------- Leonard R.
