April, sounds like you need to relax and try this. IF you press VO+left or right, you can navigate any web page usually just fine with voice OVer. I will not nor can I provide step by step instructions for every little operation. That’s not the best way to learn Voice OVer anyhow. The best way is the way you started: by just doing it. So, let me give you the following things.
1. Do you know what I mean by pressing VO+left or VO+right? What I mean is the key combination of control+Option+left, right up or down arrow. So, whenever someone here tells you to press say VO+right, for exampel, what they will mean is that you should press control+Option+left or right. Surely, you know the Apple keyboard enough to know that your option key is right next to your control key and on its right. Pressing VO+space will be the usual way to click on a web page link or activate something. In some cases, however, the return key will be used to open some web streams. That is a case by case thing you’ll just have to play with it. 2. Keyboard help. To get in to keyboard help, press VO+k. Now, with keyboard help on, you can type what ever you wish to type and you will be informed what each key or group of keys does and this includes many Voice Over commands also. To get out of keyboard help, press escape. 3. To get help with Voice Over at any time, press VO+h. For a list of all Voice OVer commands, Press VO+h twice. That should help to get you started good. Sent from my Mac, the only computer with full accessibility for the blind built-in! Sincerely, The Constantly Barefooted Ray, still a very happy Mac and Iphone 5 user!
