hi to all, do other people notice that when in pages and you get to the end of a document, that voiceover bounces you out of the document area in mac osx 10,13? also, when trying to edit in an e-mail any text typed it appears that voiceover is not tracking the cursor focus. is this behaviour noticable to other people? thanks, Will

A few days ago, I posted a question asking if there were any tips for using Numbers with VoiceOver. The majority of the people who commented said that a book would have to be written to explain how to use it. Are there any spreadsheet apps for OS X that are more intuitive and accessible with VoiceOver? Thank you in advance.

So a friend of mine who had sold his mac already a while ago (spoiler: because of Ventura instability and accessibility problems) has recently decided to buy a new one, macbook air m2 base model which has 16gb unified memory, which isn't a bad deal at all. So I was telling him the changes since sonoma (which he was already a bit familiar with) and sequoia. We had this conversation 3-4 days after he receiving it. The first thing he told me is that it's so much stable and actually usable now, voiceover is actually a useful tool now. So we spent maybe two hours on facetime?

Hey everyone how’s it going?
I saw some post that you can play mortal Kombat on Mac. Can I get this from the App Store? Also, is there any other great fighting games similar to this on Mac? I just downloaded street fighter for iOS could I also get this through the Mac App Store? I use to play battle cry under this same user name and was one of the top gamers but recently given my account to a friend of mine. Since then, I’ve been looking around for some more games I could just become TheStrongest in lol.
Thanks for the feedback looking forward to the responses

Hey fellow mac users, what is the most accessible app for recording, and fairly simple audio mixing/editing? I know garage band, audacity, and reaper all exist, but Not sure which is most accessible. Or if there’s an app I don't know about please let me know. I have feeling the answer will probably be garage band. Are there any decent guides written with accessibility in mind? I'd take audio guides too, though I do prefer written if they exist?

Hello,
Which application is the most accessible to record with my audio interface? I need to record two channels, hopefully in separate mono tracks that I will mix later. Obviously GarageBand can do that, but would you recommend the old one or the new version that came out a couple of months ago? Audacity is quite accessible, but multichannel recording support doesn't seem to be very good as you can't assign individual channels to different tracks.
Is Logic Pro X usable at all?
Any other ideas?

Hello All,
could you share the way you are using Facebook messaging on Mac OS? After Facebook seems removed the Messaging option from m.facebook.com and messenger.com is not the best place for have convenient messaging experience, I'm a bit unsure how to reach this feature on Mac OS 10.15.7. AFAIK the Stand-alone Messenger app on Mac OS also has accessibility issues. Tried to search for any information about why the Messaging was removed from the mobile site or whether was this fully removed and not disabled, but found nothing related.
Thanks

Hi all,
I am using my M1 MacBook Air with basic configuration with the latest version of the MacOs.
The issue I am having is that most of the native apps like music, text edit, mail, Safari and notes in particularly are running sluggishly and VO keeps on saying that an app in question is not responding or that the app is busy. this persists for minutes altogether and I tare my hair in frustration.
I repaired the OS, performed first aid on the disk but no joy!
Please help!
Thank you and have a smashing day!

Mountain Lion Overview.
I am impressed so far with mountain lion. I love the new safari features allowing me to see websites I've visited through iCloud now I can see them on my iPhone and iPad too. I love the new moving documents feature, now I can have documents in iCloud edit them on my iPhone and iPad send them back to my Mac and brows different versions of the same document. I love the rename feature.
Some minor issues Im still trying to work out.

Hi,
I am using a macbook pro, and a bluetooth keyboard Apple Wireless Keyboard (the computer stays on the table, i use the keyboard wherever i wish).
I updated to 10.8.2 yesterday and noticed an annoying issue:
after rebooting, bluetooth keyboard stopped working
i went to my computer and pressed the Vo M M command to access the extras menu; tried to deactivate bluetooth, it seemed to work but the focus stayed stuck to the extras menu.
then, same operation. tried to reactivate it. But voiceover told me bluetooth was always active!

I have recently upgraded to Mountain Lion and my commander keys I had set all work except the "Right Click". I had this Key Commander for Voice Over set as CMD + R and it worked fine on "Lion" (10.7.X) I have removed re-set it to the letter "R" and then removed and reset it to a various amount of letters. It appears as though the Right Click function does not work at all.
Any suggestions?

I have just bought an iMac with Mountain Lion because I need the built in voice features. I use the voice commander with a Logitech USB microphone and all works well for hours, even days, until the speech recognition becomes unresponsive and I might have to repeat saying the command many times. A reboot fixes the problem for another few hours. Anyone else experiencing this?
Thanks

Hi all!
In Mavericks with VoiceOver, is it possible to route the mouse to the location of the VoiceOver cursor and vice versa? Also, what is the keyboard command for left click?

Hi
i am partially sighted and use both Zoom and VoiceOver together. I navigate mostly by mouse pointer using the touchpad. This combination was brilliant before Catalina.
Since updating, I find that the mouse pointer jumps around in certain circumstances, such as typing in Mail, selecting a dropdown list in most apps or reading a webpage in Safari. usually, when it jumps around the words "Application Dialogue" is announced and the reading that VO was doing is stopped.

Anyone know what the keyboard shortcut is to change mouse pointer behavior to Follows VoiceOver Cursor?
In VoiceOver Utility, Navigation, you can set the behavior of the mouse pointer to Move, ignore, or follow the VoiceOver cursor. I generally leave this set to Ignore VoiceOver Cursor. But sometimes, and I don't know how, this setting flips from Ignore to Follow VoiceOver Cursor. I assume I must be hitting some keyboard shortcut by accident that triggers this change. If I knew what the shortcut was, maybe I could avoid pressing it.

I try to use screen readers 100% of the time, however it's necessary to visually resolve things. For me that means high magnification of anywhere from 10 to 32 x magnification with higher contrast.

I’m about to open a feedback report. But I thought I’d throw this dog out to the community and see if anyone besides me wants to give it a kick. How many other MacOS users have been bitten by this? How frequently does it happen? Please chime in. I recall Mr. Grieves has ran into this. Others?
If you have MousePointer set to Ignores VoiceOver curser, as many of us do, sometimes it spontaneously and inexplicably switches from Ignores VoiceOver Cursor to Follows VoiceOver Cursor. This setting is in VO Utility, Navigation, Mouse Pointer.
