I suspect it is to save time when reading. I'm not sure where bang and tick are used but I think they may be used in some sort of communication where brevity is wanted, such as Morse Code. Also,

Hi Gene, Thanks for y6our answer. Hehe, I think Microsoft has enough data on me, giving it my email doesn't sound great. But yeah, let's imagine they don't keep this data!

Right now I have Kurzweil's speech muted and was trying to use NVDA, because this is what I did with JAWS; I don't like the Kurzweil voices very much. But it sounds like I will not be able to use NVDA

Part of the reason I'm asking is because I'm at least considering trying to switch back to JAWS. However, I'm not sure my work will go for it given I have made NVDA work; I would need to come up with

Thanks! I'll check those out.

Yes Kurzweil works with NVDA though for best results you need to mute speech in one of the applications as they will otherwise talk together. I normally just use NVDA plus s to toggle speech off

Productivity is a different story, and the answer will depend on the user and what they do at work. For me, NVDA seems more limiting than productive, especially with software/web design because unless
