Hi Terry,
If you have the standard gps watch then no messages and emails etc wont come

And, I think it is much clearer than JAWS that costs dearly.

I agree with your rant; and I'll add my own.
VoiceOver is free.
You get amazing accessibility, and it does not cost a cent more.
Bugs exist in all software, get over it.
If you use a Windows computer, you have to spend a heck of a lot more for good
accessibility; and there are bugs there too.
