Hi All, Thanks for the suggestions. However:
1-being relatively recently blind, i haven't had much time learning braille as my disability is related to trauma and only went for fundamentals, and i'm too slow for anything on that front. 2-i tried dictionary suggestion but voice over assumes the same rules when reading by blocks of text. 3-Because of how the text is formatted in the textbook pdfs, it would be a tremendous ammount of superfluous work to ask disability staff at uni to modify everything for me. The solution would just be an option in the voice over utility/speech/pronounciations where each added custom pronounciation has it's verbosity setting. Say you want semi-colons to be spoken but not colons, or brackets versus perenthesis or square brackets when they surround normal brackets, etc etc. The difference between all or most is insignificant, and there should be a more granular approach for specialized text such as for engineering or special litterature. I have sent a detailed description through the developer site and hope someone might look into it "Light has no value without darkness" Mob: +642102277190 Skype: Shainobi1 twitter: http://www.twitter.com/triple7 This message is protected by article 4-210 of a certain book of laws but you don't have to worry about privacy issues if you are the intended recipient.
