Cheryl, No problem. In short, the interface works, but the text display is blank as far as VoiceOver can see. And, I did verify with my sighted wife that, indeed, the bible is visually present on the screen. As I recall, VoiceOver reports "Eloquent has no windows."
Also, as I stated in my previous MSG, I sent two emails to the developer reporting the situation. Again, keep in mind, this only happened after installing Mavericks. Upto that point, everything was fine. I even upgraded to a later version of Eloquent a bit later, 4.2 I think, & still no joy. So, @ this point I remain sad but hopeful that the situation will be resolved @ a later date. Hope this answered your questions, CJ On Sep 14, 2014, at 4:56 PM, Cheryl Homiak <cah4...@icloud.com> wrote: > Yes, I did know about the change to eloquence and as I recall keith did too. > Can you be more specific about what doesn't work with voiceover?
