Hi April, It sounds to me like you are trying to handle a lot at once. The
things that have been said in these posts concerning suggestions, have merit
and all work. However, the two goals that you are trying to accomplish are both
difficult and long-term in and of themselves. Many of the folk
Bravo Shawn! I completely forgot about that! If you don't have that setting,
then every keystroke that requires VO with a Function key also requires holding
down the FN key as well. So, VO F8 would have to be VO FN F8.
I hope that makes the difference for April, if she's still with us.

Yes, I remember using the quick-start tutorial about twenty minutes after
taking my Mac Mini out of the box. Once I went through it, the registration
form for my Mac was a breeze. As I recall, I then panicked because I couldn’t

April, if you're still with us, I think I know why your computer beeps
or bonks whenever you try to do a Voiceover command. There's a setting
in the system preferences under the keyboard section that you should

I’m not sure if you have gone through the VoiceOver Tutorial on the Mac? This
helped me get started the first time I got on a Mac,. With VoiceOver on, while
holding down Ctrl+Opt+Cmd, press F8 to start the tutorial. Then just listen
and do what the voice tell you to do. Press Esc to leave t

Hello April,
Looking back over your posts, I see that you said you had to relabel your
bumblebee keyboard. What kind of keyboard is this? It could well be that all
your confusion stems from not having an Apple keyboard.
VoiceOver is not really a program as such, it’s a method of interacting wit
Hi Donna,
I'm going to do my best to politely disagree with you. The training
program is fine for a review for people who have used VoiceOver, and
perhaps other screen readers successfully..
However, for someone who never has been successful at using a
screen reader, it is to
April,
Just a few comments that I hope will be helpful.
First, it seems like you've turned this thing into a dragon. It really isn't
it's just a piece of software. Treat it that way. You're not climbing a
mountain. Many of us, myself included found the Mac very frustrating at the
beginning
Good luck with that April. And don't forget I'm here to help if you need it.

I get to spend the afternoon doing one of my favorite things (and yes, this
is honest, not sarcastic): Re-formatting a computer for one of hubby's
co-workers.
While in that room - Hubby and I will try the VoiceOver trainer on his Mac,
and see if he has any luck figuring it out.
