I provide additional AXHelp and AXDescription information in my

Any hints how to change these information to help VoiceOver to read
and speak this information as expected?
I using Mac OS X 10.5.7.

What are the strings for each of those attributes being reported in
Accessibility Inspector for those elements?
The strings are "merged D7 till H7" or "merged E7 till H7". Try to use
VoiceOver with Mail and let VoiceOver speak this line.
Also, could it be that VoiceOver is speaking them correctly, but the
two are just hard to tell apart when spoken? (Just saying them out
loud myself they sound almost identical "merged d" and "merged e").
Maybe a different string would be more unambiguous? Perhaps "merged
from d7" and "merged from e7".
I'm not a native speaker and maybe that's why these strings sounds
very similar in VoiceOver for me.
VoiceOver speaks these strings better when I change them like "merged,
D7 till H7" or "merged, E7 till H7", but I don't know whether
VoiceOver may speak them like "merged comma D7 till H7" depending on
the user settings for VoiceOver.
"merged from D7 till H7" and "merged from E7 till H7" sound very
different in VoiceOver, but I thought that the description and help
attributes should be as short as possible.
Regards,
Daniel
