RE: Quick Poll for JAWs users: Verbosity and Punctuation settings.

Hi John,

Settings below:
Verbosity - advanced
Punctuation - most

And in answer to your question: you should not bother using off-screen text.
It is arguable that it doesn't meet 1.3.1 and screen reader users are not
the only people with disabilities who are going to be viewing the page nor
the only type of assistive technology used. 

Cheers,
Adam

Hi All,

Just doing a quick poll to try and figure out a minor question.  What I am
attempting to determine is what are your settings? Verbosity: Low, Medium or
Beginner? Then Punctuation: All, Most, Some or None? 

The question being considered is whether or not to include (parenthesis) in
off-screen text: is there a value to doing so, or should I not bother?

Data and comments most appreciated.
