Microformats and accessibility - a request for help 4:57pm on 21 May 2008 I suppport JAWS in the UK for the UK distributor.

Jaws 9.0.2152 (current public release) can be made to speak the Mcroformat text but this feature is not on by default. In order to do this one must change the verbosity settings thus:
1) Press insert+V whilst in your browser.
2) Press letter A until you reach "abbreviations Expand" option.
3) Press spacebar to toggle it on and press enter to set the changes.

Note that this is not the default setting for JAWS and only very few users would ever think of turning this one on. Unless a user did turn this on they will not hear the extranious text. If they had abbreviations on they would probably be able to turn it off quite easily.
