Hello Everyone,
NOTE:
This document assumes that you know how to create and configure VoiceOver
Activities.
Generally speaking, I prefer my default system VO Voice to be Alex.
However, I want any and all of my system notifications to use my beloved
Samantha voice.

Mark,
Thats all well and good if you only want to change the voice of the
Notification Center. BTW, its NotificationCenter.app under CoreServices. How
about changing the voice for banners. I have been trying to change that
forever. Tried NotificationCenter.app and UserNotificationCenter.app und
I have a feeling you can't do that, since a banner appears over whatever
application is active. VO would, I imagine, use the app's activity since, to
it, the banner is part of the app's interface. I could be wrong, of course, but
that's my guess. What would be great is if we could tell VO to not

When you open a document in TextEdit, press command+shift+w to hear whether it

I'm trying to test something for an Apple bug report, and to do so I need to

Hello Alex,
This should not be happening. It sounds as though you have a corrupted plist.
Try going to
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.VoiceOverUtility.plist
Copy it to your desktop then delete that file. See if that fixes the problem.
Cheers,
Anne

This is why it's much better to use a screen reader like nvda, no activation to

Or, you can use nvda or system access to go, really there is no reason to even
pay for expensive screen readers anymore.

Hi there
I have done this by inserting a column where I want the new one to go. Then
copied or cut the column I want to move, then deleted the column that I don't
need any more. To me, that's easier, and it doesn't take long either.

Mmm, that's great in theory, but Windows isn't built for access through APIs in
the same way that OS X and Linux are yet, so you inevitably need one of the
commercial screen readers, for some purpose. So you end up installing the one
screen reader that does everything, either JAWS or Window-Eye
I have to say, I used Windows every day for over a year, then slowly less and
less as I started the transition to the Mac, with only NVDA. I never ran into a
single problem, and in fact had a much smoother experience overall. NVDA has
only gotten better since those days, too. And yes, before tha
That's why I don't use windows other than at work where I have no choice. For
home use, it's the mac all the way, far less problems and a built in screen
reader.

Hi Jeff.
I think fan control is in system preferences. Go to the Doc with VO D, or go to

Hi. What's Voiceover doing when doing a say all? Is it pausing at the end of

pausing at the end of a line, it shouldn't do that and someone could

Hi,
I just wanted to say that iTools does not strip out mp3 tags.
Ray said he used iTunes to tag his music, I have found that doing so only lets
iTunes see the tags. meaning, other programs will not see the tags. so you
falsely blamed iTools for removing the tags.

So I discovered early this morning. In fact, there is a problem that happens
when iTools adds files which are tagged to an iPhone so that the iPhone does
not see the tags which are in fact there. From what I understand, iTunes makes
