I'm glad to hear this.

They represent the SCOPE of flat-review aka Spacial Review (for the moment 
only window is supported) and Logical Review (navigating from parent to child 
or between children). Logical review sees objects of a 
window/application/desktop like a tree in which you can navigate. If the 
scope is WINDOW than the higher parent that you can reach is the window, if 
it is APPLICATION than the application object can have "n" (eg. 2 ) windows 
as children, each child being parent for other children (these might be 
buttons, labels etc). If the scope is DESKTOP than you will navigate through 
its children (usually applications and each application's children : windows 
etc).

Please see "Navigation mechanisms" on

If possible, please

No. If focus/caret is on a line of text than the speech and braille will 
output that line. If the text is not focusable (labels for instance, which 
are NOT in relation with other objects) the best way is to use screen-review.

Use Mozilla, which you can take from:
