Hi Nicky,

I've always found web spots to be a funny one. Essentially whenever a page loads, Voiceover will group items together based on visual design and put a web spot at the top of each group. The idea seems to be that you can move between web spots quickly in order to find content of interest.

You can also create your own web spots, akin to place markers I suppose in some Windows screen readers.

You can also set what Apple calls the sweet spot on a particular page, they use the example of marking the start of sports scores, which will always appear at the top of your web spots list for that page.

I can't say I've had much cause to use the feature, I tend to use Quick nav with quick keys enabled, and jump to different HTML elements that way.
