If you wanted to add someone to your address book, you can use these data detectors or you could use them for bringing up a web page or even sending an e-mail to that address you found as a data detector. That is a really simplified explanation, but hope it helps. Here is a bit from the Getting Started manual.
1. In a message you've received, move the VoiceOver cursor over a phone number, email address, street address, date, or time. Mail outlines the data as a field with a pop-up menu, and VoiceOver speaks "data detector present." 2. To open a shortcut menu that contains commands for using the data, press VO-Shift-M. For example, if the data detector is an email address, you can choose New Message from the shortcut menu to open a New Message window that already has the email address in the To field; you don't need to retype or add the email address yourself. hth On Aug 29, 2009, at 2:24 PM, Dan Eickmeier wrote: > > Hi all, in email messages now, especially when there is an email > address in the body of the message, , after VO reads the email > address, it'll say data detector present.
