I don't see such a test control label there.
The control which comes before the "To Path" in tab order is an edit
control showing the "From WC at URL:".

But I've just adjusted the controls a little bit since the edit control
overlapped with the combo box right after the "To Path:" label. Maybe
that's what is confusing your screen reader?

Alt+T is the acc key for the "To Path:" label, which then sets the focus
to the combo box right after it. That combo box is there to enter url
paths relative to the repository root.

Just tell us how we can find out whether JAWS is installed and where so
we can extend our installer.
I think it would be best to add another "Feature" which is shown in the
installer page, where the user can now choose to install additional icon
sets and spell checker modules.
And if you're ok with it, I'd like to have the JAWS script feature
disabled by default, so that only users who really need it get it installed.

Is there a restart needed for JAWS to find those installed scripts? If
yes, we might also show a dialog after TSVN finished installing to
inform users about that fact.
