Hi Rahul. I have a question because I am having some trouble understanding why you are having your difficulties. First, I have never been entirely happy using the Internet to do email. I have done it, but have, on the whole found it less satisfactory than using a program dedicated to email production. I, therefore, would not use Safari to type email. I tried it with Internet Explorer and Jaws, and got it done, but with more difficulty. So, I guess my question to you is if there is some reason you prefer to use an Internet browser for your email instead of using Mail.
I have not had your experience of VO not echoing keystrokes. In fact, I turned it off because in both Jaws and Vo, I can't stand the computer to tell me every keystroke. However, I have gotten this feature to work in both screen readers.
