Re: Voice over and web surfing,
Yeah, it's kind of not working in regular leopard. I think most of the track pads are multitouch as I have settings for 2 fingers to scroll and such and they seem to work. - Original Message - From: "Justin Harford" To: Sent: Wednesday, June 24, 2009 12:47 PM Subject: Re: Voice over and web surfing, > > Hi > > I bet that voiceover has a working say-all function for webbrowsing in > snowleopard. > > Regards > Justin Harford > On Jun 24, 2009, at 6:16 AM, Scott Bresnahan wrote: > >> >> Hi, >> >> Actually, no, it's not a crazy question at all.

Simon, Use the command vo+a which begins to read the entire page in Safari. You can pause the reading by pressing the control button and restart it where you stopped by pressing the control button again. Hope this helps.

Re: Voice over and web surfing,
Hi I bet that voiceover has a working say-all function for webbrowsing in snowleopard.

Re: Voice over and web surfing,
Hi, Actually, no, it's not a crazy question at all. I agree VO's web navigation leaves us short in several areas. Even before VO, I used the older Universal Access feature of speak selected text when a key is pressed. I actually still use this today. I'll go to a web page, hit my command-A to select all, then hit my Speak selected text. Old habits die hard. The VO purists will suggest using the VO-A key to have VO speak all, but I like my way better, of course. The risk with my way is that VO may disrupt speaking of the text, so I actually will disable VO as I listen to a long page. --Scott >Greetings to all listers. > > >I've got what most of you will think of as a simple crazy question. > > I've just started playing with Voice over and want to have it read out a >webpage without having to go line by line. > Is there a command to make voice over read out a web page automatically, or >can someone tell me where I can find a tutorial on vo and safari / web page >navigation? > > I'm happy to use a tutorial either text based or mp3. > > Any help on this would be much appreciated. > >Cheers > >simon > > > -- --Scott --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Voice over and web surfing,
Greetings to all listers. I've got what most of you will think of as a simple crazy question. I've just started playing with Voice over and want to have it read out a webpage without having to go line by line. Is there a command to make voice over read out a web page automatically, or can someone tell me where I can find a tutorial on vo and safari / web page navigation? I'm happy to use a tutorial either text based or mp3. Any help on this would be much appreciated.
