Hello all,
I am trying to use the Remote Dictate for the iPhone with Mobile Mouse server
running on the Mac. While the speech recognition is really awesome, I am

typed in the wrong places.
Anyone has seen this behavior?
You are accurate with respect to the Mozilla apps although I open tabs in
Safari all the time simply by pressing cmd-return on the given link. Sometimes
I need to interact a level down but I'd have to do that to press the link with
VO-space anyway.

I think turning cursor tracking on, as previously suggested, would solve this
problem, or at least simplify the number of steps. But, I agree that copying

What was odd is I already had all the checkboxes turned on in the nav
