Information AboutVerbosity |
|
Individual words which are excessive, and unnecessary, are referred to as Pleonasm s, whereas incidents of excessive verbosity are referred to as Logorrhoea . Verbosity is also a term used to describe a feature of screen-reading programs that support vision-impaired computer users. Speech verbosity controls enable users to choose how much speech feedback they wish to hear. Specifically, verbosity settings allow users to construct a mental model of web pages displayed on their computer screen. Based on verbosity settings, a screen-reading program informs users of certain formatting changes, such as when a frame or table begins and ends, where graphics have been inserted into the text, or when a list appears in the document. Some screen reading programs also include language verbosity, which automatically detects verbosity settings related to speech output language. For example, if a user navigated to a website based in the United Kingdom, the text would be read with a British accent. |
