Hi, Bill, Chromevox is basically a miniature screen-reader that reads the content of webpages. You would need to turn VO off when you launch Chrome in order to use it. Also, it doesn't read menus and preferences within Chrome. However, it may have better webpage accessibility than VO in a few c

One thing I do a lot is move something out of the dock temporarily, then, if I'm moving an app say, three pages on, I move it to the dock and go to the page I want to move it to and drag it out of the dock again. Because the dock is always present on each page, this can make for fewer gestures.

Could you mean navigating by character? You can do that in a text editor with the arrow keys. In Safari, it's a bit trickier, as you first have to interact with the text. You can also press VO-c to read the current character or VO-w twice to spell a word. This is all without Quick-nav. If you wa
