Setting a scan word for a cell, scan group, row or column

If you select auditory feedback, the scan word in each cell, row column or scan group is said aloud when the cell or series of cells is displayed. If a scanword has not been specified, the text of the cell is said aloud. If there is no text, the label of the cell is said aloud. You can opt to have the label of the cell said aloud instead of the text, if a scanword has not been specified.

If scan words have been set for cells and rows or columns or scan groups, speaking the scan word of a scan group takes precedence over rows or columns. Rows or columns take precedence over cells.
