I've never ever experienced that.  Sorry.

Chris.

  Well, um, I hadn't gotten to that point yet... :) I sort of hoped I could 
find how to do it by plaing around, but it doesn't seem that simple. Ah well, 
google will tell me tomorrow. In the meantime, anyone know why vo speaks 
everything it can when I open the dashboard, and refuses to stop even when I 
hit the control key? It does the same thing when I close dashboard, yapping 
away no matter what I do until it finishes with whatever is in focus. It's 
really annoying.

    How do you go about looking for more widgets?

    Okay, that did it. Still, I thought there was a command to move from widget 
to widget. Ah well, this beats going online to somewhere 
likebraille.wunderground.com, and now I'll look for more widgets. If anyone 
sees a system monitor with cpu/ram/hard disk info, please let me know.

    You need to press VO+F2 twice, just like you’re going to bring up the 
window chooser menu.

    I launch dashboard and am read some of my widgets automatically, but I 
can't move between them. I just get an image that is a link, an info button, 
and a couple other ocntrols. I know I have more widgets than just one, but I 
seem to get stuck in one (inaccessible) widget. Using the stop interacting 
command does no good.

    I find the weather one to be quite useful, actually.

    I don't use it, because I just open spotlight or my applications folder and 
open what I want. Are there dashboard widgets that people find helpful? I 
suppose a weather and system monitor could be handy...

    Hello,

    I’m not sure if I was just incredibly ignorant of the fact, but dashboard 
is totally accessible. By totally accessible, I mean you can pick the various 
widgets you want to interact with using VO.
    By pressing VO+F2 twice, just like you were going into window chooser, it 
brings up a dashboard menu, allowing you to pick any widget currently installed 
on your system.
    I just thought folks would find that info useful, seeing as when I was 
actually on a call with apple accessibility trying to find out that info, I 
stumbled onto it myself.
