Hi Brian
Many thanks for your advice. I am slowly starting to learn to create files etc in Pages and have noticed the slowness of the echo of the keystrokes when either typing the name of a file or within the edit area of a created document. It also happens in Safari when typing within the edit area of the search engine. I am using the latest version of Mountain Lion and version 09 of IWorks.

Hi Henry, Assuming you have your VO typing echo set to speak "Characters" or "Characters and Words," you should expect to hear the character spoken as soon as you press each key. The setting is found in the Verbosity / Text section of the VO Utility. Is the delay happening for you in all edit fields, or just edit fields in a specific app or website? For example, does it happen while you are typing in the body of an email, the login name field on a website, etc? -Bryan On Oct 23, 2013, at 9:47 AM, Henry Miller <he...@henryandangela.co.uk> wrote: > Whilst inserting text into an edit field, I notice that there is a delay for > voice over to announce the key stroke that I have just pressed, Is this > normal for voice over? <--- 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/>.
