Hi, On the pc side of things there once was a little known office suite called Easy office. It wasn't very accessible but it had a very cool feature in its word processor: If you typed a word that the spell checker thought was misspelled, it actually sent this misspelled word to the sapi speech synth so that it read the misspelled word aloud. My suggestion would thus be to write to the apple a11y team but not to tell VO to do one neat trick or other, but to have this feature i talked about above incorporated into the speel checker. That way many programs could benefit from that feature. What do y'all think about that? /Krister
