Well, it seems to me that VoiceOver does a fine job. There is no need for each developer to rewrite a screen reader in to every application. Rather than make an application self-voicing, write hooks for voiceover, or use standard controls. I hate configuring each application's self-voicing preferences, relearning its voicing keystrokes, etc. It's nice in a game, it preserves the environment, but when I am trying to get something done, I want to use VO because I am famillier with it. Just my thoughts, everyone is entitled to his own. ps. I too like to see a "keyboard shortcuts" page in the help docs. Jason On Mar 8, 2009, at 6:46 PM, Martin Pilkington wrote:
