The command VO + Shift + F5, will route the VO cursor to the position of the mouse. This is the opposite of VO + CMD + F5, which routes the mouse pointer to the position of the VO cursor. HTH. - Brad - On Mar 24, 2021, at 08:51, Herbie Allen wrote: Command VO f5 followed by VO space. In so

Re: should I upgrade from Mac OS catalina to big sur?

If Catalina is working for you, then I'd stick with it for now. There are a few annoying bugs in Big Sur that Apple has not resolved. While there are workarounds to these bugs, I feel it would be much nicer to not have to deal with Big Sur, until Apple resolve these issues. That's just my opin

Since it sounds like Cameron is currently using Catalina, which does not support 32-bit apps, this should not be an issue, one way or another. - Brad - On Mar 26, 2021, at 12:47, Karen Lewellen wrote: Hi Cameron, I strongly suggest given how important your production tools are to your work

Re: Silencing the Siri chimes

flipped the mute switch and used hey Siri. The chime sounded the only thing that was silenced was Siri‘s spoken response. Again that does not mute the chiming sound at both the beginning and the end of series action. Any other ideas? Sent from my IPhone > On Apr 4, 2021, at 4:46 PM, Brad Sny

Re: A Question About a Possible Voiceover Utility Setting

I also much prefer the default setting of having VoiceOver speak the character that VoiceOver passes over. I think this is a big advantage to using VoiceOver on a Mac, versus it’s Windows counterparts. I find this to be much less confusing than the JAWS/NVDA standard of speaking the character t

I’m thinking this could be due to one of 2 things. 1. Your dock is not set to auto-hide. or, 2. Your dock may or may not be set to auto-hide, but your mouse arrow is situated at the bottom of the screen, and is hovering over the dock area. Many non-sighted VoiceOver users are not aware that ev

If you do the keyboard command VO + Shift + C, you can copy the last thing spoken by VoiceOver to the clipboard. Then you could paste this into TextEdit, a new Mail message, or any other text editor of your choice. Once pasted into a text editor, you can read it word by word, or character by ch
