Re: How does a Screen Reader work?

Hi Tedd,
"I think I fixed your concerns, please review:

It is an interesting approach. However, since a new window is created, it
still causes focus to change.
I tested this with the JAWS screen reader, and it reread the main page after
activating the "speak captcha" link.
I believe this is due to it thinking that a new page/window opened, then it
was returned to a third page (even though it was the first page) so it
wanted to read the new page.

I do like that you have eliminated the original intermediating page, which
saves some reading and a page load.

Hi Travis:

You said:

I think I fixed your concerns, please review:

Is this better?

Thanks for your review
