Hi, The switch between Dom and Group Mode is done in the VO Utility. I've set a keyboard commander command for it similar to the option-t for telling you the time. To set the keyboard commander shortcut, go into the VO Utility, select Commanders from the Categories table, select the Keyboard

Hi, I went to this site as well and am not experiencing the "Safari busy". Sometimes, when VO is set to Grouping mode for browsing, you will notice a lag as VO fills the buffer for certain groups. A couple of things one can try here is to change to DOM mode on that site, or to tab through

Hi! Yes i understand your frustration too. But i don’t think apple has made regressions of mac and accessibility. Though i have had similar issues too. I think you can turn off some things in both VoiceOver and Safari to make it easier for VO to handle the page. I am quite not sure about what to

Interesting you should mention that site. I have trouble with it all the time in the same way. Other things work fine. I have wondered if it is specific to that page, but can't figure out why it is happening. Kristeen On Nov 2, 2019, at 1:38 PM, Eric Brinkman wrote: Hi all, I am hearing

If I can't reliably use the machine to browse the web, then it's not going to suit my needs. These issues do not occur with Jaws or, to my knowledge, with NVDA. Apple has shifted most of its development away from the Mac, and, ever since the iPhone 5 Maps debacle, they have just been rushing out
