[NFBCS] Lately Zoom with JAWS 2026 are to verbose when announcing buttons and controls

[Curtis Chong]

Hello:

 

This problem has been reported to Zoom. If you buy the scripts from Brian
Hartgen, the problem goes away.

 

I am hoping the next Zoom update gets rid of the issue for everyone.

 

Cordially,

 

Curtis Chong

I updated to the latest version of Azoom and have the latest JAWS 2026.  Now
when announcing a button JAWS says something like "share button quote
control id = true quote."  I didn't change any verbosity settings, I can't
find a specific setting for controlID announcement and this is annoying
because it takes a really long time to just hear the simple status of what
tab I am on or is the chat pannell open.  I'm in a class on Zoom every day
for the next few weeks, so this has become a problem for me.  Thanks for any
suggestions you may have.

Sean
