Re: Using Drop Box to share TXT files between Mac and iPhone.

Hi Paul, I think VD Write saves it’s files to the iCloud, Writer folder. Is it possible the file has been opened from Dropbox and ended up with the updated version in iCloud so you now have two copies of the file? Ian > On 15 Oct 2024, at 13:33, Paul Hopewell wrote: > > Hello Brad, > I tri

Hi Lorie, Go into the VoiceOver Utility and choose Verbosity from the categories. In the Verbosity settings, choose the Announcements tab. There is a setting for "When number of rows change under VoiceOver cursor” which can be set to Do Nothing. Ian > On 11 Oct 2024, at 04:49, Lorie McCloud

Re: Help with Mail On Sequoia 15.2

Hi Rob, When you navigate the mail box table, are you using the cursor keys on their own or with the VO keys. If I just use the cursor up/down keys, then VoiceOver skips over the name of the account and moves from the last mail box in one account to the first mail box in the next account. If t

Re: Apple mail in Sonoma

Hi Lorie, First, go to the View menu and make sure the Side Bar is shown. When I’m in the list of emails, I usually press Shift + Tab twice to get to the Side Bar. Once there, I can move through the list of folders with cursor up/down without having to interact or use the VO keys. Once I get t

Re: SIRI Voice Rate on Mac

I’m sure it used to be possible to get Siri to speak more quickly by just using a voice command. However, I’ve just asked Siri to speak faster and it responded by talking louder. Then I asked it to speak more quickly and it set my central heating to 17.5 degrees Centigrade. Go figure! Ian >

Amazon Test

For those having problems with Amazon, could someone please try using the site with VoiceOver’s cursor tracking turned off. Once a page loads, I usually need to press the Tab key once. After that, I can navigate by headings without VoiceOver getting stuck the way it does when Cursor Tracking is

Hi Marie, There was something on this list a while ago about people hearing extra content when navigating by word, but I can’t recall the details. I’m not able to replicate the issue at the moment. Which voice are you using with VoiceOver? Also, could you please press VO +v and make a note of t
