Hello everyone, Before submitting this feature request to the accessibility team at Apple, I was curious if (1) it is implemented already and (2) what others thought.
I work in a multilingual context daily. I am very satisfied with my text-to-speech software, too. However, I occasionally have this annoying problem that wouldn't be a problem if one of VO's features could be enhanced just a bit. Whenever I type, I keep all keyboard echo features turned off. This means that I only hear text when I move the arrow keys or invoke a VO function that causes something to be spoken. I find that I make a lot more mistakes when writing if there is any feedback whatsoever when I am typing. One of the really cool things about VO, however, is that whenever the Caps Lock is invoked VO beeps each time a key is pressed. I like this a lot. I also very much appreciate the fact that whenever a word I encounter while listening to a text is mis-spelled, VO sends an error beep. What I would like to see is an extension to this feature wherein VO beeped on a mis-spelled word, even if the keyboard is silent. I don't know how many times I started to write a text in English, only to realize later that I was still using a German keyboard. I would save a lot of time and hassle if, immediately after the first mis-spelled word was encountered, I could switch the keyboard to the appropriate language. I would also use this feature extensively, even if I were in a monolingual context. Your thoughts?
