Aha! Thanks Jonathan, I thought that performance bug with activities was just
me, but evidently not. Yes, very annoying; put a complete damper on Nuance for
me, since I have Safari automatically initiate my web activity, and of course
Safari is almost always open which means simply pressing
How do I know if it's a Nuance voice that I am using? Are they all Nuance
voices except for Alex and some of the low quality voices? I have surely
noticed that when I want to change voices it is a very sluggish process. I
usually just stick to Ava. I want to try activities. If I use the same
Most every voice is Nuance, yes. Alex is not, and the older voices (Fred, and
the other old-style synthesizers) are not, but any you have to download are.
Yes, the bug is present even if the activity does not change the voice in use.
No, there is no workaround I know of; keep emailing
Hi,
I wonder if this has something to do with announcements. When using the voice
Alex, if you switch in or out of the app that you have an Activity applied to,
VO announces VoiceOver Settings Activity along with a view other App notes.
If you use a different voice, non-Apple, then this
Yes please do. I wrote to them and they asked to see my VoiceOver settings etc,
as if no one had told them about it before.

So, now that everyone knows the basics, what are some advanced things voice
over users can learn? Where would we find documentation on this? They have
a lot of tutorials out there, but most of it is for the beginner, what about
the advanced user?

What, specifically, are you looking to do? Beginner stuff is easy, because you
can limit it to the keystrokes you need to know or how to do x y an z in
VoiceOver compared to NVDA. Advanced is, well, advanced, and everyone's level
of what defines advanced is different, and non-basic commands are
You'll learn more from the geting started guide, which you'll find in the VO
help menu, which you were told how to access in the tutorial when you first
started VO and would find a great help anyway. Mac isn't like Windows, just let
Apple show you how to do things. Then you learn how software
Hi,
So, you think you're ready to move up to the VO big leagues eh?
I tend to go with self help. I often check out the VO-H command menus reading
the command descriptions to see what I can do. I also look in the VO Utility
application where you can assign actions to keys and see and control
Thanks for the few tips. I actually hate the track pad. But will do what you
suggested!

Hello,
This topic brings me to a question I have never had the courage to ask because
I don't want to be considered stupid. What is the purpose in activities and how
do you use them? I've never messed with it in the three years I've had my
computer and don't understand what they're there for.
Hi Pam,
activities are a pretty neat feature. Let's say, in Safari, if you always
wanted quick nav to turn on when you went to the browser, you could set it up
so it would do so when you opened Safari, as an example. It's a way of
automating tasks so Voiceover can do some of the work, leaving
I like to describe activities in VO kind of like voice profiles in JAWS. You
can have different VO settings for certain applications. So for example, if
when in textedit you wanted the speed to be a little slower for editing
purposes but have the main speed faster, you can set an activity for
Yes I use an activity in Night Owl to give me a hot key to let me know how many
characters I have remaining in a tweet, and to automatically speak when I
change view, such as from Home to Mentions etc.
I also use an activity to set verbosity to low in Mail, to get around the
disclosure triangle
hi, to Pamela and others, there are not stupid questions only stupid answers.
Or as we say on irc even we sometimes regret it , don't ask to ask just ask.

This hot key to know how many characters are left in a tweet when in
YoruFukurou sounds like a dead useful feature. Having never created a hot key
for this, or any other purpose come to think of it, could you give me some
instructions on how I might accomplish this task?
Thanks in
Hi John, the trick is to create an activity for Night Owl so you have a unique
series of hotspots for that app. Then locate the area where the character count
is shown and assign that area to a hotspot. If you're like me and like
pneumonics, reassign the hotkey for the hotspot to something
Hi all,
I
m trying to figure out a setting on voice over to allow certain punctuation
symbols to be announced and others not. Ok, this seems like an impossibility,
but hear me out:
there are many symbols which voice over does not read unless you go character
by character, and those aren't
How about a braille display? A bit expensive but far quicker and more accurate
for such high end tasks. Unless you have a sensitivity issue this is probably
the way to go.

I haven't tested this out, but my theory is that you might be able to add them
to the VO pronunciation dictionary to be spoken differently. For example, if
you know what keystroke is used to make a symbol that is ignored when VO comes
to it, you could tell VO to pronounce that symbol as
21 matches
