God bless your hovering finger over the control key. Let’s hope CTRL works this time reliably! ;-)
I beleive VO has an issue with its buffer management. That’s why lots of content is spoken several times. On german Macs everything became very sluggish in all dialogues because it reads every passed text even if the focus is already at another place on screen. Luckily enough I could prove this behaviour to Apple by sending them a screen video. My impression is that became worse from OS to OS. Hopefully they'll change some of that in High Sierra. Sometimes it’s very confusing and some people deleted the wrong folder or file in Finder because VO read not the current content of the VO focus but the name of the file or folder before. I haven’t experienced that on english versions of Sierra with Alex but in other languages. Jürgen > Am 14.06.2017 um 18:58 schrieb E.T. <ancient.ali...@icloud.com>: > > Ha! Of course!
