One of the advantages of IBM Home Page Reader is that it announces links
in a female voice while reading regular text in a male voice.

With all this controversy on webpage design has it ever been considdered
to ask screenreading manufacturs to make their screenreaders change voices
when coming across pchanges in webpage layouts?

The technology is hear today to prermit such access to webpages. Lets stop
putting the blame so much on webpage designers and expect more from
screenreader companies.
