+SELF VOICING
+--
+
+* Menu-related
+
+- Not all shortcuts are displayed in the menu items. They are active though. (i.e. open URL: CTRL+U).
+- While inside menu, CTRL key hit does not stop self-voicing playback. Only works when within main window and inside modal dialogs.
+- Top-menu hover (mouse or keyboard) does not work (no self-voicing) once a menu popup has been displayed. Solution: pressing ESCAPE several times until the menu mode is left, then go back to menu using ALT+arrow keys or using mouse click on menu header.
+- "Open URL" and "Close" use TTS because there is no valid audio clips to play yet.
+- Smaller font uses TTS instead of pre-recorded audio (no mp3 clip yet in XML).
+- Smaller and Bigger font text in the menu item does not match the TTS audio (text from XML). Mnemonic is therefore missleading too.
+- Text-Style uses TTS, no audio clip is available.
+- Page Style sub menu is largely incomplete and troublesome (overlaps the play menu)
+- Reading options plays "skippable items"
+- publication summary has no audio in XML
+- Speed up / down only available when book is open (despite affecting the UI speed too, regardeless of the book)
+
+* Dialogs self-voicing
+
+** About
+
+	- AMIS version and release data audio clip very loud. Also not matching the text displayed
+
+** Open URL
+
+	- no dialog definition in AccessibleUi.xml (only OK / CANCEL). The text field says "text" for now, to give minimum feedback.
+
+** Search for books: no file browser (manual path entry, copy+paste from file explorer works fine)
+
+** Text Style: only OK / CANCEL buttons
+
+** Skippable Items: crash !! (unexplained)
