Received from the Portuguese list.

As well as it's already possible to disable announcing links, headings, frames, lists, landmarks, tables and other controls, it would be a good idea if there is an option allowing to disable announcing buttons, check boxes, combo boxes, radio buttons and other controls. This would be nicer for advanced users, or when navigating in known pages, allowing for a quicker navigation.

The labels for these controls are separate from the controls themselves, so you'd still hear the labels. Is this what you're intending (just as for links)? Also, if there was a check box or radio button on a line by itself, you'd just hear blank.

Also, for controls other than buttons, note that this would probably make it impossible to know where you could activate the control, since the label is separate from the control. That is not the case for links or buttons.

Hi,

I don't think it's possible to know the control, since this will be used in known websites.

I think I haven't been clear.

My suggestion is: We should be able to toggle announcing the control, not the label, as if I disable announcing the label, I will not know what I am activating.

I tend to agree with @jcsteh's #4331 (comment). While flexibility that adds utility is acceptible, I find the cons of this feature request outweighing the pros. Edit fields, radio buttons and combo boxes are essentially form fields rather than general navigational elements, and their presence is vital rather than being complimentary to the webpage. They hardly cause any unneeded verbosity too. Thus, I would like to kindly request morphing this ticket to cover customizability of only button reporting. Thoughts?

if #4877 is solved and speech refactoring has been implemented, then there could be tones like in the add-on audiothemes.

Why we need feature "disable reporting buttons"?
Here is an Example.
In Coursera video playing area, there are several buttons. By Pressing it, user could move the track to the specific time. But, if we want to pay attention to read subtitles. In this case, user hopes to uncheck the feature of reporting buttons.
Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open this link.
  2. Press b to move to play (activate).
  3. Press b to video subtitles (activate).
  4. Press downArrow to read subtitles.
  5. NVDA reports
