Hi Alex, Thank you so much for the assist, I really appreciate it. Your explanation has been really helpful.
I was just testing it out, and let me give you an example of where I'm having trouble. I was typing the word "really. When I got to the second l in really, the sound for corrections came up so i decided to give it a go. VO gave me the option of "re all" and no other options. Knowing full well that this was the wrong choice i wanted to test it anyway so pressed space but nothing happened other than vo changing the word from what i had originally typed to "real". So i decided to try another word and chose to type the word option, only spelled with an s instead of a t. as soon as I entered opts the noise came up and Vo said ops sion, so i pressed space again, but instead of correcting the word it just placed a space between the op and the sion (s i o n). I've gotten it to work a few different times, but it still seems kinda sketchy to me. Also, here's something else interesting, for the longest time I did not have any (not sure if I'm calling these the right thing) system sounds other than my mail notification and incoming messages; no audible feedback when entering passwords, no sound when a webpage had fully loaded, no sound when the spelling corrections options would pop up; and now, all of a sudden, they have returned. I did not change voices or any options, I didn't even restart my computer. Any thoughts/suggestions on this? Is there an option to turn these on and off? Sorry for the long post and thanks in advance again.
