Another option 1. Turn on speak mouse after a delay (see previous message) 2. Set VO tracking options so that VO follows mouse instead of mouse ffollows VO. 3. Turn off trackpad commander if using trackpad.4. Use the mouse if you hover over an item for a small amount of time, it should read it to you. I haven't played with this for about a year, but there might be issues if the VO cursor is following the mouse and the the Insertion point is following the VO cursor. In all likelyhood, whenyou move the mouse you will lose the place you were typing if you were typing. Gee, I wonder if HOT SSspots and AppleScripting of UI could solve this problem... Something like on mouse move... If it has been greater then X minutes since last mouse move then save VO position in hotspot 9.
If this could be implemented, then one could easily SNAP back to the insertion point. Very interesting, too bad I haven't the time to figure out the UI elemenTs of AppleScript.
