While reading text line by line or by using say all command, NVDA reports the elements information such as heading, link,, etc. It is quite annoying to hear the words "link" and "Heading level 1", etc., each and every time. If we disable reporting of these elements in the settings, we may not be able to know whether a particular text is a link or heading.
In JAWS, we have a good feature called "Speech Aliases", which help us to set different voices for different elements. When this feature is enabled, the screen reader reads only the text of the heading or the link, but with a different voice, so that we can identify the element of the text.
Since the default eSpeak synthesizer used in NVDA has several voice variants, it will be very useful if voice aliases are also made available in NVDA for reading the web elements.
