Hi there, There are still a few bugs in Voiceover ACCESSIBILITY, though they are minor and hopefully will be fixed by the developer soon. I am in contact with Peter Kamb, and things are looking good.
I can also say that my mussel memory of two handed touch typing are coming back quickly. I am very close to my old typing speed as I send this. Typing at speed I will say, is a joy. Enjoy it as long as you are capable. I couldn't for about 4 years. Now that I have the ability again, I am not giving it up for the world.
