Hi, Anne. Will give it a try. It's very distracting to hear VO speak at random like that. That's one bug that got introduced in Mountain Lion that drives me absolutely crazy. It's almost impossible to keep one's thumbs from tickling the trackpad. On Windows laptops, I either bought laptops with eraserhead/pointing sticks, or I somehow found a way to shut off the touchpad, precisely for these reasons.

Oh well, will try Trackpad Commander.  How do I turn THAT on?  Thanks.

Hello Matthew,

I don't think there is a way to turn off the trackpad in ML. I was looking for this facility for a client just the other day and couldn't find it. I suppose if you turn on the Trackpad Commander, the mouse won't go skating all over the place.

Cheers,

Anne
