Re: Rookie Safari questions

[Janet Ingber]

Hi Stan,

Check out the "How to Be Blind" web site at www.htb2.com   Activate the 
tutorials link and then activate the Mac link.  There is a tutorial on Safari 
as well as other useful tutorials.

Another great web site is Applevis  www.applevis.com  It's a community of blind 
and low vision users of Apple Products.  There are excellent podcasts, app 
descriptions and much more.  It's also another place for asking questions.  
David Woodbridge, from Vision Australia has some wonderful podcasts on using 
the Mac on the Applevis site.

Hope this helps.  Also, don't try to learn everything in a day.

Janet

Unless you crreat a hot spot there is no way to do this, unless you open the 
page in a separate window. Then and only then will it keep your place. I think.

Take care.

Re: Rookie Safari questions

[Anne Robertson]

Hello Stan,

To be able to return to the spot on a webpage that you just left, you need to 
open the link in a new window by getting a contextual menu (VO-Shift-m). The 
first option is Open Link in New Window. You can then just close that window 
and you'll be back where you started.

Cheers,

Anne

Rookie Safari questions

[Stan Gowin]

Greetings,

I'm still getting used to my Macbook Pro with Mountain Lion and VoiceOver.
As an old Windows / IE hand I'm finding Safari a little frustrating.

Can someone recommend sites or podcasts where I may learn more about using
Safari. I've been using an iPhone for a couple of years, so I'm not really
having problems wih Voice Over but with Safari itself.

The exception is one annoying problem when navigating back to a web page.
Is there a way to get Safari and Voice Over to resume speaking or
navigating where I left the page? For example, if I'm reading  my list of
GMail, and I select a message link, read the message on a new page, then go
back to the GMail message list, is it possible to have the "focus" on the
link I previously activated?

Thank you for your suggestions.

To all,
I thank you so very much for all your help. I am indeed thankful, so can I ask 
some more questions? (grin)

To you, Esther, I agree with all who have said that your knowledge and 
willingness to share it are absolutely phenomenal. Thank you and thank you all.

Well most of us have been in the same place, and will be so again at some point

I've learnt so much from Esther's helpful posts, it's a pity there's not a

To navigate letter-by-letter, use vo-shift-left/right arrow.  That  
will move you a character at a time, as long as you're already  
interacting with the item in question.

Re: Safari questions

[Esther]

Hi Geoff, Kristeen, Gordon, and Others,

I still use item chooser menu a lot, especially since it works well for both 
current and earlier versions of Mac OS X (all the way back to Tiger). A nice 
feature of item chooser menu is that you can refine your search for an item to 
include category.  For example, if I'm using item chooser menu on a web page 
like the one for Applevis, and I want to find the links for their "Campaign of 
the Month", I can type VO-I to bring up item chooser menu, then quickly type "c 
a m" to filter results in the menu for elements that match those letters, then 
quickly type "l i n k" to further filter those results for links.  If I'm 
looking for a button I might quickly type "b u t" instead for the second match. 
 By then, there are only a few matches on the menu, and I can arrow down to the 
match and press either "Return" or use VO-Space to be taken to my selection.  
Remember that item chooser menu only navigates you to an element.  If there's a 
link or button that you're trying to activate you 
 still need to do another VO-Space, etc. to actually press.  If you decide to 
amend your item chooser search terms, press the "Delete" key and start typing 
again.  Item chooser menu is a simple yet very powerful tool to help find 
things.

Geoff, in what regards do feel item chooser's functionality has been abated in 
Lion?  Also, which web item rotor settings do people find most helpful to 
use/add?  (From the experience on the iPhone, surprisingly, images are very 
useful for navigation on the iOS screens).

Cheers,

Esther

Re: Safari questions

[Geoff Waaler]

Hi Kristeen,

One tool that may help with searching is the item chooser (VO-i).  Its 
functionality seems to have been abated in Lion, but its remains a way to 
quickly skip to elements on the web and elsewhere.

Best regards.
Geoff

Re: Safari questions

[Gordon Keen]

I would also suggest that once interacting with the link you use the vo plus w 
toggle to read on the first press the word, second press by character and third 
press by phonetic spelling.

It is also very useful to explore the potential of the web item rotor with vo 
plus u then moving the options with vo plus right arrow.

Hope this helps

In answer to your first question, yes v o shift down thus interact, if it is is 
text then you can read letter by letter with v o right arrow.  If it's a link 
though, no, so if you want the letters of a link then copy it over into a new 
document or in a new mail, unless it's in the address bar itself, then by 
interacting you can get it letter by letter.  As for the other questions, don't

Safari questions

[Kristeen Hughes]

I know I'm pestering all of you folks and making you think, but now that there 
is no PC, I have to learn some of the things that I was putting off. I do try 
and find the answers by looking, but sometimes it doesn't seem to work for me.

If you are reading a link or any text for that matter, is there any way to see 
what you are reading letter by letter or word by word?

Also, I am very frustrated by the find feature. When I use command+f it finds 
what I want wonderfully, but then it won't let me go there. And, is there a 
quick command for finding the next occurrence of something you've already 
searched for?

Thanks.
