For info, I fell into the trap of advising people not to use >> on buttons
and links, as much as they looked good because they were pronounced "greater
than greater than"

I subsequently realised that with factory defaults, Connect Outloud did not
read out this punctuation - only if I set it to read all

Worth bearing in mind - reset to factory settings first then see how it
sounds
