I obviously can't help! I am not really truly sure what Mavericks or launch pad are, just too new to the Mac, but this happens to me too. Ipad just froze overnight and it took 6 hours with Apple support to fix! Empathizing!! I know I just didn't help, but understand! My Mini is still not talking either!

When trying to read an email now VoiceOver is skipping large parts of the text and pausing when trying to read an email. It is absolutely unusable. I have cycled VO off and on, and of course this took several times to actually work, not sure how a simple one press of command F5 used to turn VO on and off now almost every time I want to toggle VO off and on it takes at least five presses of these commands to work. Additionally, VO reverted to Alex when I had Samantha set as my voice of default. I have restarted my machine and am still having VO not properly read me an email. If I want to go back and read this email before sending it to the list VO will skip a bunch of words, how does that happen from one day to the next when I went to bed last night everything was fine. Very frustrating. Just went back and tried to read what I typed and had at least 10 pauses and VO skip at least 20 words in the email. This is not a product I would suggest to any blind user, as obviously there must be a serious stability issue with VO in Mavericks. Would love any suggestions or help, but not sure how in one day everything can go from being fine to a piece of crap. I have spent the first two hours of my morning trying to fix this when I need to be working. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
