Where on the word are you? Also, are you possibly mistaking the "misspelled word" sound for the "suggestions available" sound? The former is the sort of ratchet sound, the latter a higher, shorter tone. Finally, do you have "correct spelling as I type" enabled in system preferences and in the ap

I feel like an idiot because the down arrow trick just simply is not working for me. VO shift m does work, but no matter what I do, the down arrow followed by left-right to get to the list of words does nothing for me. On Feb 2, 2013, at 9:49 PM, Alex Hall wrote: > Getting the list is as eas

Hi Jessica, If I can figure this out I'll definitely let you know, because like you I am able to fix a current word, but I'm still not able to, and have never been able to get to this list of corrections. Same with my iPhone, I have no clue how to do it there either. Alex and a few others ha

Getting the list is as easy as putting your cursor just past the last character of the word and then down arrowing, or moving to anywhere in the word and hitting vo-shift-m. On iOS, when you hear the auto-correct sound, you can swipe down (the rotor should auto-select "corrections", but if not y

I was actually wondering that myself; I have that same trouble when it comes to my mac/IPhone, and have no idea how to go about correcting it. I do fine when it comes to the current word, but if it comes to trying to find a list, that's a whole different story, so would love some advice as well

Both of your examples are exactly what should have happened. Vo read "real", so you hit space and it inserted the word, same for the second example. As I said, only when there are multiple choices will you see multiple options through which you can arrow. As to sounds, yes, you can mute these i

When you hear the sound, pause to let vo tell you the correction it thinks you mean. If you like it, just hit space, else keep typing your word. If there are multiple corrections, that's when you can press down arrow, then left/right through them and enter to choose one. In addition, you can mov
