Hello Jean-Claude,
To put the shift lock on, place one finger on Shift and tap twice with another
finger. To take the shift lock off again, place one finger on Shift and tap
once with another finger. I'm in touchtyping mode.

Alternatively, move to shift, then tap three times. The tripple tap
with vo on is the same as the double tap with vo off. As Anne pointed
out, split tapping twice does the same thing, which I didn't know.

Hi all
It's not just people with hearing impairments who have trouble with

words and numbers, are a little easier, but really, how can any site

I've used the audio captcha for Google Groups, and agree this isn't ideal, but
it's doable. I know this won't work for everyone, but the original poster has

I did that, yes. VO can't seem to detect the display, even though if I pair

my IPhone will not find the device at all.

Thanks, John. Exactly what I needed. I know exactly the dialog you are talking

which I had uninstalled.

No, you can still fool the newer Minis into thinking you have a monitor. I
have a mid 2011, and it works fine without a monitor. You need to get a mini

Did you actually try typing after tripple-tapping Shift? Because that is
exactly what VO is supposed to say.

The first letter of a sentence, or the first letter you type in a text field,
is usually always capitalised. Thus, type your first letter, then activate
shift lock.

Absolutely. If you can get a monitor, that is obviously the easiest
solution. In my situation, I don't have the space for a monitor with the
