Your greatest friend for some time will be the VoiceOver help menu, accessed by pressing Control-Option H. Keyboard help is similar to keyboard help mode in JAWS on the PC, and the Quick start guide at the bottom of the help menu is the VoiceOver users manual. The users manual is an HTML system that you read in Safari, so it’ll help you get used to working in Safari just by reading the excellent manual. I strongly suggest you read it thoroughly, then read it again… and again… until you feel like you know VoiceOver inside and out. It’s your screen reader, so it makes sense to get to know all its features as soon as possible.
Good luck and happy reading. On Apr 27, 2014, at 12:11 PM, Mark <arosind...@me.com> wrote: > > > Hello, I am new to this list. It was recommended to me by, someone on an iOS > blind listserv.
