hi Sam, It sounds like you are hearing help tags which are provided through vo for instance, you might hear “you're sitting on a link…" You can adjust this behavior in vo utility in the “hints" tab in verbosity On Oct 28, 2013, at 8:46 AM, Samuel Negron <samuel_negron@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: I haven't gotten to do anything super intensive, but I'm liking it so far, too. It seems torun a lot of apps more smoothely, with less time loading the app, and the app spending less time performing tasks. The thing I don't like is, in Safari, if you pause too long on a link, it provides text that isn't on the same line. A good example of this is on FB, where I could have my cursor on the like button, and if I wait, it will begin reading the status associated with that button. In other environments, that sort of behavior can get confusing.
