Chromevox is a screen reader built into Chrome so it has its own keyboard commands and such but only works within that app. Sound weise, at least on the Mac, it uses the same text to speech engine provided by OSX so it sounds much like voiceover. From what I've heard Chromevox knows a little mo

Yes, but then you have to turn VO off or you'll have two screen readers speaking. Having to turn VO off and on every time I flip into and out of Chrome is a non-starter. Most people don't just live in their browser. Chromevox makes a lot of sense on platforms which don't already have a screen r

Hi, there is an easy fix for the problem you're having in Chrome where it loads a page and you have to go back to the edit box. Just use Chromevox. Sure, it crashes Chrome sometimes with the Nuance voices but it does the job. I would use Safari more if SamNet worked for Safari. Shawn Sent from

Hi Alex and others, I know of the Chrome problem which you describe regarding the address bar. Only for me, it happens in Safari instead of chrome. At any rate, what build of chrome are you guys running? I make it a point to always run the latest dev build. I have chrome set to update automat

You are correct Alex, I think it loads some kind of default tab content. This is the one thing that has been bugging me with Chrome... Otherwise it's pretty good. On the other hand, I love Chrome on iOS. I was so surprised to see how accessible it was. Best, Emrah -- Emrah “In theory, theory
