Turn On or Turn Off Smooth Scrolling

Turned on, this option allows a special type of scrolling to display content at a predetermined speed. Turned off, screen readers will continue to read links correctly even when the next link is off the current screen, and voice recognition programs may perform better as well. Left on, screen readers will sometimes read part of the next link, and sometimes read extraneous information along with the next link.
