I would love to see application specific settings and also an easy way to adjust speech rate on the fly. Another thing I would like is a way to skim through text while continuous reading is in progress. Move by line is something the screen readers have had for a while now, and it is very convenient. Move by paragraph would also be nice.
And how about getting rid of the duplicate commands for voice over where an Mac os X command exists, and give us a list of such commands, organized by application, for the applications included with the os. Doing that would mean a learning curve for people who have gotten use to voiceover commands, because those are what you get in the introductory material. but in the end, more keyboard commands would be freed up for assignment to actions where no keyboard command exists within the os. I would appreciate application-specific settings for keyboard commander, because the number of easily accessed keystrokes is not all that many. It could be an option, global versus local, so folks who didn't want that could assign keystrokes to work across all applications if they wanted. And easy script sharing. I would also like to see intelligent language switching implemented along with the language rotor, so that if there is more than one language on a page, the voice will switch if you have this option turned on. I don't yet have a braille display, but I understand that at present, voiceover spells out the full names of controls, kind of like speech box mode for JAWS. that is wasteful of valuable display real estata, and if this is indeed what happens, I think they should do something about it.
