these are things where if a sighted person hovers the mouse over them, you get choices. If you do a vo shift m on them, you will get a menu to make choices from in regards to the clickable item. hth, Caitlyn > On Jun 8, 2015, at 12:32 AM, Jean wrote: > > Hello All: > What does it mean in Saf

It means the text can be interacted by clicking with the mouse. Unfortunately, it depends on the webmaster coding the site whether VoiceOver can activate the clickable text or not. > On 8 Jun 2015, at 05:32, Jean wrote: > > Hello All: > What does it mean in Safari when an item says “clickable?”

Hello Jean, Often, clickable items are places where either a mouse hover or a mouse click will change what is shown on the page. Try bringing the mouse with VO-Cmd-F5 and doing a VO-Shift-Space type of click and see whether new items have appeared. Cheers, Anne > On 8 Jun 2015, at 06:32, Je

When you press vo-cmd-f5, does VO speak the clickable item again? If not, your mouse may not be being moved; try vo-cmd-function-f5. On May 29, 2014, at 6:09 PM, Randy George wrote: > Hi Alex, > > Have tried your suggestions, and unless I'm doing something wrong, which is > definitely possibl

Hi Alex, Have tried your suggestions, and unless I'm doing something wrong, which is definitely possible--I'm still not getting anywhere. I've tried every key combination possible, but I can't get the system to make the mouse click that I am used to hearing after the F5 trick...VO space isn't

Try vo shift m. alternatively, you can try option enter. If neither of those things works, try using the track pad to click on the items. hth, Caitlyn On May 29, 2014, at 5:18 PM, Randy George wrote: > Hi All, > > I am attempting to navigate a page that has what voiceover is calling > clic

Vo-space should work. If not, move to the item, press vo-cmd-f5 (you might need to add the function key as well), and then click the mouse. If you lack a mouse, use vo-shift-space to simulate a click. On May 29, 2014, at 5:18 PM, Randy George wrote: > Hi All, > > I am attempting to navigate a

Hi All, I am attempting to navigate a page that has what voiceover is calling clickable items--but when I try to click on them as I would a link nothing happens. There are no links, just these frustrating clickable items. If anyone knows a way to access these I would sure appreciate the ass
