The discussion is to be extended somewhat to read:  
“The redundant cues are helpful to those with low vision.  They are also helpful to individuals who may have difficulty reading the text on the screen for any other reason as well as individuals who may not be able to realize ethnic names when printed if they have only heard them pronounced in the past.  The ability to have any text selected by the user read individually while the voter is on a page would constitute synchronized presentation if the page title/contents were announced when it appeared and the method for reading text was described to the voter.”
