e.g. sometimes tabbing doesn't get past the IE address bar and yet with
the same install and same LO sometimes it does.

where TTS on the navigation controls announces "Page n of n"? There's also
a tendency for tabbing to escape the learning object back to the browser
navigation but then be unable to return to the browser. Neither of these
are issues with our 2 TechDis installations which is a puzzle. I'd be
interested if others find the same on their current installs.

Dragon naturally speaking speech recognition software. The problem is that
the Voice commands "Press Tab" , "Press Shift Tab","Press Enter", "Press
Space Bar" fire the key board keys and allow you to navigate Xerte, but it
is very painful to get to where you want to go if you simply want to
advance a slide or bring up the table of contents. "Press Tab","Press
Tab","Press Tab","Press Tab" etc

"Press Tab 6" or you can program mouse position commands, assuming you
load xerte into the same window size every time, and say "Next Slide"
which will locate the mouse and click it. However the target audience for
the courses are novice dragon users with a typical low end version of
Dragon so this is not really an option. You can also use "Mouse Grid 5,2,3
Mouse click" to position the mouse and click it, but again you have to be
an experienced user to be able to do this.

done easily in XOT to assist disability users who use speech recognition.(
