At present, the author and date of a revision is reported when moving by character or word. It's important to be able to access this information, but I think it should be on demand (e.g. via NVDA+f). The way it is currently done makes proofreading/examining revisions painful.

@michaelDCurran, thoughts? I'm inclined to give this a p2, since the current state of things makes editor revisions far less useful, but I'm biased since I reported the issue. :)

In MS Word at least, these are exposed in the Elements list. Perhaps we can just remove the extra info from character/word all together as it can be already viewed another way? We should still keep the shorter messages for line/word/character though.

I really like The idea with tones. This would really increase efficiency. Maybe like an optional feature because it could be confusing for beginners. I am working every day with such documents and it costs me lot of time and patience to complete a 300 page contract with really complicated statements and additional verbosity.

If you agree, then this is maybe blocked by #4877 and may a use case for the referenced pull request.
