Re: some doubts

2019-08-20 Thread Jonathan Cohn 
Hello,

A hotspot is a universal location. If you set  hotspot 4  on a progress bar , 
then in any application if you use control-option-command-4, VoiceOver will 
speak the current state of that progress bar.

Web Spots are meant for HTML based documents, and the exact way that VoiceOver 
knows how to determine if a web spot should be active is an mystery. But once 
you set a bunch of hotspots on a page, you can switch between them with hot 
keys or the web spot list in the rotary selector.
A sweet spot is just a web-spot that VoiceOver will set initial on when that 
page loads. For example if you want the Sports headlines from your local 
newspaper to be what VoiceOver reads when you open the site, then you should be 
able to set the sweet spot to that area. Again, although VoiceOver is Supposed 
to remember webspots and hot spots, I don’t think there is anyway to review 
them like there is in other systems. 
VoiceOver also has auto-web-spots which is VoiceOver guessing where major 
sections of a  page are. You can go to the next auto-web-spot with 
control-option-command-n .

Best Wishes,

Jonathan Cohn

I am really confused about the differences!

 

Sorry to sound stupid.

Hello,
The key combination by default is quite a reach. 
shift-control-option-command-rightBrace will set a webspot or window spot. The 
same keystroke but with left brace removes the hot spot at the current 
location. 
Note: you can always use commands help to find things out control-option-HH if 
you type spot after doing this it will list all the commands associated with 
spots.
To set a sweet spot, you just double up on the brace when setting the web  spot.
