CRC stands for cyclic redundancy check. It is a checksum, derived from counting the bits which represent the colors and positions of the pixels of the graphic. If an icon is of a different color, doesn't have its center filled in, is filled with a different pattern, etc., its CRC number will be different from that of another icon. In Window-Eyes' graphic dictionary, the full CRC is a number which can have a value from zero to 4 billion or so. I think you hear this number if you press Insert-8 three times in a row. If you press Insert-8 only twice, you hear the three-digit shortened CRC value, which is unique enough for most purposes and much easier to remember than the full CRC.
