Just a note to clarify. To Window-Eyes the label is the field name and
the data in the edit box is the field data. the hotkeys to read these are:
Control-Shift-N and Control-Shift-D

if by the title you mean the label of the edit box, then sometimes it is
not on the screen reader to fix it but the web developer. for screen
reader to read edit boxes label correctly they need to use the label
tags around the name of the edit box and use the for attribute to label
the box with the input id. if this is not done correctly then you have
to go in and out of browse mode to read what the edit box is for. Not
sure what kind of things a screen reader can do to help in this but
maybe GW Micro knows. if the process above is done correctly then you
can use I think alt plus “n” to read the label. otherwise contact the
web master and let them know that there edit boxes are not properly labeled

*Subject:* Edit Boxes Not Speaking
Hi,
When I enter an edit box in IE9 or Firefox 11, the title of the edit box
is not spoken. Is there a work around for this?
Thanks,
Pastor Gil
