Can you get sound any other way, like with headphones or a USB sound device? Do you have a braille display you can use? I'm wondering if sound is simply muted, and a display (or sighted person) could determine that easily enough. In my next Talking Dashboard update I'll include a script to force

Hello Donna, You do indeed use the Inspector to set line spacing. Select the Text inspector and the Text tab. By default, Line is set to 1. You'll find this field if you go down once from Line, then once to the right. Cheers, Anne On 6 Sep 2013, at 07:12, Donna Goodin wrote: > Hi all, > >

Guys I was reading an article about how to lighten data usage on the iPhone and it recommended a text only browser called, prosaically, Text Browser. It's free. Anyway, you have probably all been using it for years, but it seems to be quite VO friendly and cuts out a lot of the stuff that we do
