Great news! And the Browse mode example you gave, is one that I have been
missing for a long time. Would be great, the day our ears would be saved
from hearing the word 'LINK' spoken 317 times - when scrolling through a
page of search results. A small - quiet - sound, will be the good thing
here.
For the GW staff: I have one Question. Will this app - finally - give app
developers a way of making volume control for their sounds? I.e, in the
ProgressBar app, the sounds are way too loud, and simply blows your ear
drums, if your speaker volume is a bit high. Will this new app give
developers a chance of adding on a volume button to their ap, so that the
user can adjust how loud the sounds from that app should come through?

Hi Shannon
I think this type of app can have huge applications for identifying
windows elements/controls.
For example, tests have shown that many of our brains can process
information by sound much more quickly than by words. Think of Internet
Explorer when in browse mode. We come across links, buttons, check
boxes, edit fields, radio buttons, and so on. If each specific control
had a unique sound that would allow us to browse a bit more quickly and
process the type of control much faster than listening to WE say those
words.
Advertisers have recognized this for years. People will associate a
unique sound or jingle to a product much faster than the name of the
product either visually or audibly.
