1. Language rotor, so I can hear Spanish, French, and Basque spoken like they
should be. Alex and Vicki just don't do it for me, it sounds so sterile.

Oh, and have speak text under mouse available in Mail also.

1. I agree, scripts are great, and can help speed up many tasks. However, as it
is right now, they aren't easy to share. That's a large reason why there aren't
more people using them. When I made a move file script for VO, which I could
explain how to operate in a single paragraph, I had to spen

No offense, but some of this just sounds like nitpicking. :)

Hello Mary,
You can adjust speech rate on the fly by pressing VO-Command-Right arrow until
you find Speech Rate, then using VO-Command-Up or Down arrow to adjust it.
If you are adjusting the speech rate regularly, you will find it is the setting
you are on.
I adjust language all the time, so t
Hi Ann,
I'm talking about skipping text while vo is reading, not stopping speech and
reading by line etc. If you find yourself wanting to skip over chunks of text
or lines, this is a very useful feature, one I use in my Windows life quite

Hi John,
Unless I'm just not doing it right, the present reading commands don't exactly
do what I'm talking about. for example, control option down arrow is suppose to
read next line. It does that. but what I want to be able to do, and can do with
Windows screen readers and my ocr application is
Hello Mary,
OK, I understand now. What you need is GhostReader if what you want to do is
just read a document.
With GhostReader, you can skip any number of sentences or paragraphs and
GhostReader will pick up immediately.
I use this application for reading the original version of the document
Thanks for that Mary, do you not change the rate by pressing control + option +
command and then use the cursor keys, or are you referring to an easier
solution then that?

Ah, I see what you mean Mary, currently VoiceOver will scrub through the text
if you hold control-option-down arrow or only down arrow down while it scans
through the text, but when you lift your fingers, it will stop in stead of
continue reading, like you'd like it to do. It would be a neat ext
Thanks for the tip on ghost reader, Ann. I do have infovox voices, but not

than having to buy yet another separate application. It seems a lot simpler
than using an entirely different app, but I'll go have another loo
Hi Chris,
I was somehow blissfully not aware of the ability to switch speech rate and
language without going into the voiceover utility. Now that I know about it, I
will definitely use it.

Hi all.
One thing that I would really wish would be implemented is grade two
braille in other languages than english, I would love a sort of router
so you can easily change between languages and the braille grade two
changes too. I would like grade two for danish so much, it would be a

Michael,
I think that pressing the vo keys plus a will do the same as the insert down
arrow in JAWS. I don't use JAWS, or haven't for a while, but I think insert

Now I never knew about that touchpad shortcut with the control key etc, just

The legacy voices don't use much in the way of resources so getting rid of them
would save nothing
This would be very useful for the likes of Pages, Word etc or any document that
is marked up including PDFs I am sure we would all enjoy the benefits of
navigating documents in the same way we navigate web pages. Point well raised.
