Comment (by grahamarmfield):

 Hi @lessbloat, have had a proper chance to test all this now with screen
 reader and I have to say that the functionality works nicely - well done
 mate.

 Also, with Dragon (in IE) it is possible to achieve most things without
 resorting to mouse commands or emulating tabbing - which is good. There
 are problems selecting any item in the menu that happens to be called Home
 directly as when you say "Click Home" it is misinterpreted - but this is
 not unusual for Dragon. There is a problem directly selecting anything
 other than the first Add Menu button on the page - I'm not quite sure why
 that is. That's one of the places where you have to resort to tabbing.

 My two suggestions for improving the new menu screens are:

 * Change the manipulation links away from Move right, Move down to less
 visually-centric commands.
 * Add a heading to the top of the main panel where menu items can be
 manipulated - suggest "Current Menu" or similar. This will allow screen
 reader users to navigate straight to the section once they have added all
 the items they want to. Obviously that doesn't help sighted tabbing users
 though.

 The potential issue I identified earlier about adding new items or moving
 items around an existing menu with many items still troubles me slightly,
 but I guess it's possible to outdent items to move them quicker. Perhaps
 we'll need to craft some help for screen reader users here.
