Hello Alex, The splitter you need to be on is the horizontal splitter underneath the message headers and above the message content. You don't need a mouse but you must turn Trackpad commander off. Navigate to the horizontal splitter with VO; Bring the mouse; Press down on the trackpad with one

What is the most VO friendly way to delete a FB or Twitter account using Safari 6.1.5, Mountain Lion and Voiceover? Alternatively, can this be done from the IOS app? I find it impossible to navigate the friends or followers lists with my iPad 2, and the website is very VO unfriendly. Thanks.

It's for those programming on the Mac. If you are not a developer, you can safely ignore this message. The function essentially forces VO to speak a string, which is something that I've been looking for for quite a while. This way, apps can use VO directly instead of using a speech synthesizer.

Kind of. It does the same thing, in that you can get VO to speak a string of text. As you said, though, there's no external client involved; any OS X app can use this on any modern Mac. The only question is what happens if VO is disabled at the time... I'll have to try that. On Jul 21, 2014, at

Hello Alex, I don't know how you navigate Mail. To find the horizontal splitter, you need to be on the Messages table but not interacting with it. If you do VO-Down Arrow, you should be on the horizontal splitter. Obviously, Quick Nav should be off for this to work. Cheers, Anne On 21 Jul 2
