JAWS saying "bottom slide index" over and over and over again . . .

 

Following my own advice to others, here is the website you can use to check out what I mean: ?
?
I suspect this is the result of a bad website design (there are other issues) but this is the first and only site where JAWS just keeps repeating "bottom slide index" over and over and over again when the person browsing has taken no action at all.? It seems to me that it may be reacting to a photo carousel that keeps changing the image once every couple of seconds.
?
All of the above being said, I looked in JAWS settings hoping that something obvious would jump out that I could either check or uncheck to keep this from being announced, as I can't envision any circumstance where a JAWS user would want to be hearing this over and over again.? It drove me and my client insane in just the few minutes we were working on that page and some of the other pages of that website.? If that setting exists, what is it?

It is well to open one's mind but only as a preliminary to closing it. . . for the supreme act of judgment and selection.

I had this problem with a different website which is no longer online before the pandemic. It is annoying. I don't know if there is a way to stop the announcements, but it would be good to find out.

I've just written to FS Technical Support, so we'll see what they have to say about it.

Response from Vispero Tech Support:
It looks like there is a live region update on this page. It unfortunately appears to be updating quite often.

On this page press Insert + V
Type "live" without the quotes and arrow to:
General Options Personalize Web Settings
Announce live region updates checked

Press Spacebar to uncheck this option.
Tab to OK and press Enter.

If you only want it not to speak the live region of that website, you should first make sure the website has its own JAWS settings file.
