Problems with VO

2011-10-09 Thread Rahul Bajaj
Hi all, I have been using my MacBook for the last 3 months. And, To be honest, my experience so far has been very, very frustrating. Some of the problems that I've faced so far are: 1. VoiceOver doesn't read anything as I type, so I can't use it for sending messages and emails. It reads every cha

My view is I am not having the problems you obviously are. So, not having used JAWS either, but having used WIndow-Eyes, I sure wouldn't switch back. Cutting and pasting text is quite simple. You would use shift-command or option-arrows to select individual words or entire lines respectively. Lik

Rahul, I certainly can emphasize with your new found frustrations as I too am a new MBP club member. However, I have found that most of my questions are answered at least eventually. So I would encourage you to hang in there and keep plugging away at this new fronteer. First of all can you t

Hi Rahul. I have a question because I am having some trouble understanding why you are having your difficulties. First, I have never been entirely happy using the Internet to do email. I have done it, but have, on the whole found it less satisfactory than using a program dedicated to email produ

Hello Rahul, Gigi, and Others, Rahul, I'm wondering whether your problems with not hearing VoiceOver read with typing echo in Safari is because your verbosity settings under VoiceOver Utility. By default, as Gigi described, most list users do not want to hear every key that you type echoed whe

Hi all, Firstly, I would like to thank you all for your valuable views. VO doesn't read anything when I type on Google, Twitter, Gmail or Facebook. I've tried changing all the settings, but it still doesn't read anything. However, I'll still try to make some of the changes that you guys suggested

Hi, I am Jenny and I am a brand new mac user. I can't answer your questions cause I don't know how to do those things either, but I am having the same feelings as you are. I am a former jaws user and can't seem to get the hang of Voice Over. I just wanted you to know that I, if no one else

Hi, If you are running Lion and have both QuickNav and the "one key navigation" feature turned on, you will experience no ability to enter text in textfields on web pages. Both QuickNav and "one key navigation" are great features, but if you use them both, you have to either press left and rig

Hi Jenny and other new folks. I'm not a very old-time user of the Mac. I got mine in July. VO is my fifth screen reader to learn. The first computer I learned was an Apple 2 E back in the eighties. You should have heard me screaming also when I was learning Windows with Jaws. Maybe you do this,

Hi all, I thought it was a one-time thing, but I no longer think so. I sent an email just now with a file attached. Once I attached the file I wanted to write more, but vo froze up. Once I got it talking again, I had to interact with the text all over again, then mess around with it some more as

Guys, I hardly know where to begin or where to put this. I’m having some weird problems with my VoiceOver and what I guess is keyboard focus. This began in Sibelius but has spread to all apps and that's why I'm writing you here. For some reason, in Sibelius, if VO is running, I can’t s

Try looking and see if cursor tracking is turned off. This sounds like the behaviors when that is the case.Sent from my iPhoneOn Jun 22, 2023, at 6:20 PM, Kevin Gibbs wrote:Guys, I hardly know where to begin or where to put this.  I’m having some weird problems with my VoiceOver and what I guess
