Making the VO cursor act like it does in Windows

2017-06-01 Thread Robin Christopherson
Dear listers Can anyone confirm if it is possible to make the VO cursor speak as it does in Windows – i.e. as you arrow around it only speaks the character to the right of the cursor. Jonathan Mosen mentioned in a recent post that this is possible but I can’t see how to do it. Thanks, Robin -

how to stop VoiceOver speech on a locked phone

Hi all, I have my phone set to "do not disturb" over night. When it comes out of this mode, I may actually still be asleep at 7 am, but it immediately starts speaking, giving me the current list of notifications. I know I can turn off VoiceOver, or turn off speech, but I've also found I us

You may want to see if not having VoiceOver speak on the lock screen fixes it in the VoiceOver settings. Or, stating the obvious here, set the do not disturb time later. If you just turn off speech with the three finger double tap, you can still answer the phone using the two finger double tap.

Question about Prizmo Go and Multi-page Documents

Hi List, I downloaded Prizmo Go today after reading its write-up in today's AppleVis newsletter. I'm hoping someone with more experience with the app can answer my question. If I have a document composed of more than one page, I can't figure out how to capture it with Prizmo Go so it can be sav

First, you have to buy the export package, $4.99. Then, after each page, you would have to copy the text and paste it into a word processing app. Then repeat for however many pages. At this point it does not save documents that I have found. But, the full Prizmo app, $9.99 can scan multiple pages

It is a Medline ear and forehead thermometer. They valued it at $31.00 so you can probably get it for well under $20.00. It has good volume and one button for forehead reading, one for ear reading, and one for degrees F/degrees C. It uses 2 alkaline batteries. Tony -Original Message-

Sounds is probably just going to be VoiceOver sounds, but with any rotor item, to add it to the rotor, just double tap on it and from then on, it should say "selected" and show up in the rotor. Double tap and hold is for moving things around and is basically what you thought, you double tap, ju
