Chris,
Dealing with both your mails in one here. I wholeheartedly agree. I've been
convinced for almost 2 years that Apple sees their job in terms of
accessibility for the blind, specifically on OSX but to a lesser extent on IOS,
as done. They can walk into any courtroom and claim, with
I agree, Mac OS X accessibility sucks. iOS is far superior and the Mac is half
baked and very buggy. I could never recommend the Mac as a productive tool for
the blind.
I don't think we should give up though, we need to keep up the pressure. We

Chris,
Just to be clear I think they've done a stellar job on IOS. Sure there are
things I'd like to see, things I'd have done differently; but that applies to
my own development work (in retrospect) as well.
The reality is that four and a half years after iWork 09 was released, it is

Hey All,
Funny as the message you got from Apple on Logic is the same exact response I
have gotten for years from Apple about the awful accessibility of Numbers which
I now no longer use. I got blasted on this list for listing several issues with
mountain lion and voiceover when it came out.
Definitely agree, and I would hate to see them go the way of humanware, not
saying that they or Apple are bad companies, but both companies responses could
definitely be improved a bit.

Hello!
I think that one possibility you have is:
Go to your link and hit Vo+u. You will here the Address spoken.
Then, Copy the last to clipboard with Vo+Shift+F3.
You can then go to your text document in Textedit and write something that
represent that link. For example: Super marquet page.
Just a comment on this.
When you want to copy the address of the page you ar in, just hit CMD+l, make a
copy command and the rest is the same.

I do not understand the distinction you are drawing between a link and

If you go to your Amazon page and open the link you want to save all you

Sometimes that will not for some reason work. You will know this as you will

Hello Andy,
The Copy link option in the contextual menu doesn't always work. It all depends
on how the page was coded. However, when on a link, VO-Shift-u will read the

Hello:
When you do command l, you get the address bar, so you can copy the content to
make it a link.
And to get a ling, not the address, just do vo+u and then copy the last to

hope it helps

You can use vo j but that according to the key board help cycles between linked
items so you can use it to jump between the mail box and mail table for
example. I don't use it to jump between headers as i have those turned off. I
use cmd shift h then vo left to get to the headers section then
vo plus u brings up the rotor not the address thing. according to key board
help. I just looked and that's what it does, not reads the address. You are
thinking vo shift u. According to key board help it reads the current address
of the link you are on.
