Hi all, I downloaded Google chrome canary this morning, opened up the disk image, copied the app to my applications folder. When I attempted to open the application, I got the google chrome canary app, but it said that there were no windows. No menu bar, nothing to work with. I then went and

Hi all, I managed to get my chromevox installed and i tested it, and as is so common amongst us i will now give my thoughts, mostly complaints about it. I think Chromevox has potential. The navigation, as long as it's basic is quite nice. I put it through its paces on a swedish site to buy

Odd. So you have to disable the screen reader to use it? What if I want to flip over to answer a Skype or IM while I'm wordprocessing? How will I even know that someone is calling? What if I want to navigate to the finder and copy a file? Howabout reading my email in mail app to copy paste

This would be where activities in Voiceover would really come in handy. Let's say that there was a setting to temporarily put VO to sleep, is there such a beast? If so, one could do an activity that was for Chrome and that put VO to sleep as long as you were in chrome, but when you got out of

Is there a way to configure VO to 'sleep' while a certain app is active. I know screen readers on other platforms have this capability. I hunted around for a while and couldn't turn up anything related to changing VO settings depending on what app you're in, not to mention turning it off. I

Hi! Would the mute vo toggle in vo+h+h in audio be useful for this! That could be set to any of the commanders like keyboard or one of the others! There is also mute speech but not sure if that one would be useful! Colin On 27 Sep 2011, at 16:38, Chris Blouch wrote: Is there a way to configure

Hi! Yes when in vo commands just down arrow to the audio and right arrow into it and the mute vo toggle is in that menu! There is no key commands listed, so safer to make it a commander shortcut first! If you vo space on it! Then the vo will mute and you might not be able to get back to turn it
