Hi Tim, I agree, I get similar issues at work when using windows / jaws and any number of web or desktop based applications.

In regular documents, in most cases, the headings and such that are in all caps, still read as the word as opposed to the spelled out cap letters, whereas on the Net and in some pdf's, it is read out as Steve explains. For the most part, I've just lived with it as an idiosyncrasy. Later..

I opened a document in TextEdit and entered several acronyms. VO read them as expected, for example it reads ACLU as A C L U. There is a setting you might look at in VO Utility, Verbosity category, Text tab. It's an option that affects how capital letters are handled. But that's single letters. Whenever I run into something in all capital letters, like an advertisement with capital letters in a double-height double-wide font that says "big big savings" or something similar, I hear this: B I G S A V I N G S without the spaces, of course. Every time I read something with the phrase "MAC address," I hear "M A C address." The setting to which you refer is only for single letters. The above examples are the kinds of things I want eliminated. -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
