Hi all, with Safari, anyone no why on earth we get with Voiceover 2 items, 3
items oh and lets not forget that internal link now and then.
I don't know if its me but these little things in Safari are starting to get on
my nerves.
Guess you could say I'm moaning. lol
Do they annoy others here.
Well, if you interact with the two items and three items things, you will
notice that you can see items on the page that you cannot see without
interacting with those items. Not everything on the page is visible on the
surface look of the page. So, if you see an item with a label on it that sa
The two items three items thing you're hearing is most likely lists with
several items. Whenever VoiceOver encounters a list or sub-list, it announces

Hi,
Not positive, but I believe that you may wish to put the general verbosity
setting back to medium but adjust specific elements to low. There are some
things that are not mentioned under the Additional Speech Verbosity options
that are affected when you set verbosity to low, medium or high.

they all do and what are the optimum settings for me.
Cheers,
Nic
