I am currently working on a website were accessibility is of foremost importance. I have noticed that when you use a TTS package to read a page on microsoft.com via a url it reads a paragraph of pre defined text that doesn't appear to exist either in the page or its source.
This is obviosly advantagous as its means the TTS doesn't read all the mumbo jumbo on the page and users get a really clear overview of a page.
But how on earth do they do it? :(

I think you are talking about something that no one knows about

Within Text-to-Speech Package, what exactly does it say; something like Micro$oft is the boss of you?

pretty much :)

it gives a visual discription of the page and how to use it and tells you system requirements for windows update and spouts a load of other stuff I can't find, only thing I can think is it might be a frame containg extra info around site
http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/default.asp
as the source or page doesn't contain what it says?
