+ <app>Orca</app>'s Mouse Review feature causes <app>Orca</app> to present
+ the object under the mouse pointer. Unlike <app>Orca</app>'s
+ <link xref="howto_flat_review">Flat Review</link> feature, Mouse Review
+ is not limited to the active window; instead, <app>Orca</app> will attempt
+ to identify what accessible object, if any, is visually under the pointer
+ as you move the mouse. If you have moved the pointer over an accessible
+ object with information to present, <app>Orca</app> will present that object
+ and its information to you.
</p>
+ <p>
+ Because enabling Mouse Review causes <app>Orca</app> to listen for, and then
+ process, all changes in the position of the Mouse Pointer, this feature is
+ disabled by default. To have it always enabled, check the <gui>Speak object
+ under mouse</gui> checkbox found on the
+ <link xref="preferences_general">General page of <app>Orca</app>'s
+ Preferences dialog</link>. In addition, you will find an unbound command
+ named <gui>Toggle mouse review mode</gui> on the
+ <link xref="preferences_key_bindings">Key Bindings page</link> of that same
+ dialog box. By binding this command, as described in the
+ <link xref="howto_key_bindings">Introduction to Key Bindings</link>,
+ you can enable and disable Mouse Review on an as-needed basis.
+ </p>
+ <note style="tip">
+ <title>
+ Default Settings and Keybindings Are Independent of One Another
+ </title>
+ <p>
+ Note that you can choose to have Mouse Review always enabled or not and
+ still toggle it on and off by binding and using the <gui>Toggle mouse
+ review mode</gui> command. It is not necessary to enable it in order to
+ toggle it because settings and keybindings are independent of one another.
