In the VO utility you can set VO to either use speech to warn the user if a word is spelt incorrect or you can set VO to beep, or you can set it to simply do nothing. On 13 Jul 2010, at 00:48, Mike Arrigo wrote: I don't think this is currently possible, though tere are commands to move to

Anne, yes. Mine plays a tone when it encounters a mis-spelled word. I am so excited about the idea of seeing this implemented that I will write a note to the Apple accessibility people right away. Cheers, Mike On 12,Jul,2010, at 11:33 PM, Anne Robertson wrote: Mike, Have you set it to

I think the tone is more than sufficient to alert you to a spelling mistake. Extra speech would just be confusing. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group. To post to this group, send email to macvisionar...@googlegroups.com. To

One of the things I love about Voice Over is the way that it alerts us when a mis-spelled word is encountered while reading. While this is really cool, I am wondering if it is possible to take advantage of this feature while typing. Whenever I type, my keyboard is silent, the way I like it.

Hmm... I don't know about this as I've never had my Keyboard to speak *nothing* when typing. I use the Speak Words setting in VoiceOver Prefs. On Jul 12, 2010, at 2:12 PM, Michael Busboom wrote: One of the things I love about Voice Over is the way that it alerts us when a mis-spelled word

Hi, When I set it to words, this happens just the way you describe it. Of course, that requires VoiceOver says the word, of course. Regards, Nic Mobile Me: nic2...@me.com GoogleTalk: chojiro1...@gmail.com Facebook Twitter Skype: Kvalme MSN Messenger: nico...@home3.gvdnet.dk Yahoo! Messenger:

I also have my keyboard speak nothing and it would be good if that feature were there. I can't find how to do it though. S On Jul 12, 2010, at 12:38 PM, Pete Nalda wrote: Hmm... I don't know about this as I've never had my Keyboard to speak *nothing* when typing. I use the Speak Words

Not so sure this would be as easy. First the one problem might be in how a word is pronounced vs how it is spelled. SO, what I mean is sometimes a word is spelled correctly, but not pronounced correctly. So, even if you hear the word, the buzz is more likely to grab your attention then just

I don't think this is currently possible, though tere are commands to move to the next and previous misspelled word. This assumes that you have the feature to check spelling as you type enabled of course, personally I keep this disabled since I find it annoying, but it's a personal preference.
