I also have hearing impairment and find the setting by which the first time you hear a character when cursoring over it Voiceover will firstly say it normally, but if you wait a second it will repeat it phonetically very useful. You only get the phonetic version of the letter if you pause so This is very useful when checking spellings as I do not always need the whole word spelt phonetically, but may occasionally struggle to hear a particular letter. I do not know of any other screen reader which has this flexibility.

Hello Paul, I don't know of any way to examine the clipboard, but you can usually read word-by-word or spell out words by interacting further with the object. Also, have you tried VO-w twice to have a word spelt out, or VO-w three times to have it spelt using the phonetic alphabet.

A good way to get round this is VO+Shift+C to copy to the clipboard. Now is there an easy way to look at the clipboard contents without first pasting them into a textedit window? It would be useful if I could examine the clipboard word by word and perhaps spell some words to be sure of what VO actually said. > > Any suggestions would be welcome. > Many thanks for highlighting the VO+Shift+C function. > > Paul Hopewell <--- Mac Access At Mac Access Dot Net ---> To reply to this post, please address your message to mac-access@mac-access.net You can find an archive of all messages posted to the Mac-Access forum at either the list's own dedicated web archive: <http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/pipermail/mac-access/index.html> or at the public Mail Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/>.
