@sgunhouse Thank-you!
No I mean the myriad of sub-menu specific functionality options that you get on say Opera 12.17. (or other browsers)
I wouldn't mind the menu going if these options appeared elsewhere 
Is this not reminiscent of Pol Pot's year zero program?
Sorry, Windows 7 my mistake
I was posting an Android post and got stuck.
I can't see how to move it. Bummer.
Here's the best strategy I can come up with as Opera is small beer and I have to get on to speech Recognition: -
The first getVoices() tells Opera to swing into action.
Opera needs you to release the thread so it can get the voices info
Opera will not honour/deliver the onvoiceschanged event.
I stick a setTimout(myvoicesHandler,0) in there.
If the handler gets voices it updates the selections else it stays at zero
the feature detection has to move way down into the code
But why are there no voices on Opera 28 Android 4.4.2?
WRT http://help.opera.com/Windows/8.54/en/menus.html
How do I display the main menu in opera 28?
Silly question I know but . . .
window.speechSynthesis.getVoices().length returns 0
Opera never triggers onvoiceschanged yet (on windows desktop) the call to speechSynthesis.speak(chat) works and after the voice invocation getVoices() now returns an array of length one. On Android I get no audio and no errors and absolutely no events
Please help.

On Safari this example won't fire any known events
onend, onerror, even onended: -
<input type="button" value="Talk" onclick="talk()" />
No probs on Chrome or Opera. Spewin!
