Hi Ricardo, Okay, you hit it. I don't have anything echoed when I type. When I went into VO utilities and changed the setting to words, I received a tone when a word was misspelled. Good catch on your part! Les -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "

Hi Carolyn and Heather, Well, I work for Vocational Rehab in New York, and in my office, we've purchased a few Macs and iPads thus far. Mostly for Low Vision Users, but believe me, if a VO user's request came across my desk, and the justification was there, I'd approve it in an instant. Les

Hi Sarah and Mike, I was expecting to have to turn brightness down every time, I should have someone check. All I know is that VO reports the brightness being at 1% or 0% every time I check, not sure it tracks the actual percentage properly, but it certainly appears to hold the initial setting
