Hi Harry, A number of VO users reported being quite happy with Bento and rated this app very highly prior to updating to Mountain Lion, but apparently after updating they are getting "Bento busy, Bento ready" messages. I've only read detailed discussions about Bento on the mac-access list, so you could try doing a Mail Archive search for that list's archived content if you want to read more about this, or else joint that list. A lot of these issues seem to be specific to running this software under Mountain Lion, and this may be true of the recent App Store reviews (by non-VoiceOver users), too. Some users only reported encountering problems after updating -- they had no problems running the very same version of the software before updating to Mountain Lion, and were also pleased by the ability to sync information using the Bento iOS apps.
Just something to keep in mind when you perform your evaluations. Since you're running Mountain Lion you'll want to know abut the specific performance under this OS. Also, improvements in behavior may only come with more ML specific experience on the part of developers. HTH.
