Hello, I have used screen curtain on my Idevices, while reading a book. I have also adjusted screen brightness on my computer if I am using it to access a podcast or the like which doesn't require me to be in front of it. I have not had any kind of issues with voiceover finding its way around the screen when the screen brightness is reduced. I remember my very first experience with a software screenreader using DOS 5 & Word perfect 5.1. I have enough vision that I tried to follow the cursor. Needless to say, it slowed me down considerably. My instructor took away my monitor forcing me to listen to the speech. I can't believe the mac would need a lighted screen to function either.

I did this in the display pane of system preferences. When I tried adjusting the screen brightness slider, however, VoiceOver went a little bananas. The sound kept cutting in and out almost like VoiceOver was stuttering or on a really bad phone line. Then I lost VoiceOver sound completely. I navigated right and turned automatically adjust screen brightness back on, and VoiceOver returned to me. However, when I would navigate back to the brightness slider VoiceOver would begin stutterring again. Any ideas of what's going on here? Does this happen to everyone or just me?
