Re: Crashing Chrome with Chromevox
Yep. That's your problem. Remember, Samantha is a Nuance Vocalizer voice and in my previous post I said that the Nuance voices don't play well with Chromevox. I would suggest you switch to Alex or if you still want Samantha as your system voice, there's a good US English voice in the Chrome Webstore. It's free to download. I have her and she's awesome.

Crashing Chrome with Chromevox
Hi, I have been experimenting with the Chromevox extension running the Chrome browser on my MacBook Pro. I am finding that with Chromevox running, chrome frequently crashes. It sometimes takes VoiceOver downl with it. Is anybody else having this issue? Any ideas on how to make chromevox behave better? It is hard for me to believe that this software isn't better than this. Robert Carter -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: Crashing Chrome with Chromevox
Hi, I was experiencing the same behavior. This is why I just stopped using the extension all together. This was over a year ago mind you, I'm a little surprised the problem still persists.

I know how to disable the Chromevox extension, but how does one remove it completely? I don't find this information in the user guide.

Re: Crashing Chrome with Chromevox
Hi, Are you sure that ChromeVox is really crashing or are you just outside the HTML area that ChromeVox reads? Try pressing cmd-n to make Chrome open a new window to determine if things begin speaking again. Also, strange things can occur when you have both ChromeVox and VO running at the same time. Google recommends that you turn off VO when using ChromeVox. It's not consistently an issue but seems to cause erratic behaviour when both engines are running. I was just at a Google Apps Summit Monday and Tuesday of this week where I let some Googlers know about some of the limitations of Chrome. I did, though, find that some of the limitations are just me. I'm so used to VO that navigating with ChromeVox is different than what I'm accustomed to. Too many things for this old brain to remember with VO, ChromeVox, JAWS, Wife's name, all that sort of thing. Anyway, if you really want to remove ChromeVox, make sure that VO is on, go up to the Window menu and choose Extensions. Use Vox keys to navigate through whatever extensions you've added to Chrome and right beside the Enable checkbox for ChromeVox Extension will be the Remove from Chrome button. HTH. Later...

Re: Crashing Chrome with Chromevox
Hi guys. I've noticed that it also depends on what voice you're using with Chromevox. One thing's for sure, I'd stay away from using the Nuance voices with it because it's like Eloquence on the PC when they encounter words it doesn't like. Like for example, if somebody says Sent from my iPod at the end of a message, it crashes. Also it does this for any me.com address it reads. So yeah, if you are using the Nuance voices with Chromevox, of course Chrome will crash.

Re: Screen readers with Chroam was Crashing Chrome with Chromevox
Hi, Sort of. In Google Chrome, there is n extension that Google has designed called ChromeVox that works more or less as a screenreader. It only works within the HTML area of Chrome though and does not access the MacOS menu items nor the ToolBars and such. ChromeVox is a part of the Chrome OS and works on Macs, Windows and on their own ChromeBooks. In various situations, ChromeVox handles certain HTML elements better than VO with Safari but not always. It is especially useful if you are a Google Apps user. HTH. Later...

Re: Crashing Chrome with Chromevox
Hi, It is really crashing. A Chrome quit unexpectedly message is displayed and a crash report is created. This seems to be happening whether VoiceOver is on or not. I am using Samantha as my Mac system voice and so that is what chromevox is using. Do you all think that Samantha is the problem? Perhaps I will temporarily change the system voice back to Alex and see if that solves the problem. I must say that I am not impressed at this point.

Re: Crashing Chrome with Chromevox
Hi, Yes, Samantha is likely your problem. I switched my System Voice to Samantha and experienced the same issue as you. With Alex, Chrome has seldom had any issues and does actually behave better for some elements on certain web-pages. In fact, Chrome is easier to use within some of Apple's own Knowledge Base articles compared to Safari. Later...
