Hello guys,
I upgraded to El Capitan two days ago, and now I found that my Internet is really slower than before. It takes a lot time to load a page. I have a Mac mini. Does something wrong with the new OS X?

hi all,
I have a problem, my Mac is so sluggish. when I press on any button,, in most times voiceover is so late to speak.
when I leave it open for 3 or 4 minutes, it doesn't work for seconds until in responds.
even when I press cmd+ f5 to turn on/off voiceover, I have to press it many times until it works.
it's also remarkable that many applications go busy more than before.
is it a bug with Mac OS Sierra? or do I have a problem which has to be solved.
please help me out.
thanks

Hi Mac users. I'm curious if someone knows how could set up all the commands using voiceOver on my macbook pro, It's mean all of (F) keys don't recognize the commands when use VO plus F key. One example is when press VO plus F8 only say keyboard back light and not about vvvoiceOver Utilities, just the F5 key works to turn on and of voiceOver.. When open safari and try to navigate on it pressing VO plus the leter command by link or headings doesn't respond just navigate bringing up with VO plus u..

I don't know how to control him! I would think if I clicked my mouse somewhere Voice Over would read from there, but it does not work that way. Is there some way to make that happen?

Also, I don't understand the difference between Voice Over Cursor and Mouse Cursor.

Hello. I am delving in to the world of VoiceOver on a Mac book air and will be using vm fusion to run Windows and OSX. I do not know if I should purchase Windows 8 or Windows 7 since I do not have a copy of any Windows operating system. I am interested in hearing from anyone running either version of Windows with any screen reader and OSX. Thanks for the tips!

FishScreenReader is an OCR screen-reader app. It can help you to use apps that VoiceOver can’t read. It can point your mouse to the text it recognized and click it for you.

I have added more voice options and offline OCR to the app this week. Now you can choose which voice to use and adjust its speed. Offline OCR gives you more privacy and better result if you have a poor internet connection. Now you can also select how to read words that the app can't determine the language. You can select to read it in the system language or English.

Hi. i emailed apple accessibility and got a responce back about the newline enter thing. On a side note, they are great and if you ahve a problem with accessibility with the mac I'd highly reccomend emailing them. so what you do, is open the document and go to find. command+f then, when you are in the edit box to find something. press the option key pluss return and you will here enter. find the replace check box. it's to the right, so don't forget to use your v.o. keys and right arrow. check the check box, then arrow right to the replace edit box and press the delete key. v.o.

Hi! After updating to Yosemite, it seems that I'm no longer able to name new VO activities in the VO Utility settings. I just can't find an edit field or any other way to put in the name after the activity is created.
I don't remember exactly how this was done either in Mavericks or in MountainLion, but I certainly remember that it was doable and also pretty streight forward.
Is this another Yosemite bug, or has anyone figured out a way of doing this?
Thanks! :)

Greetings all,
Does anyone know of a tagging/renaming tool for the mac that will name files based on Artist and track title? I just finished downloading bunches of my music in better quality from iTunes match, but they aren’t named correctly. For instance, “Unwound” from George Strait just says, 01 Unwound. I want it to say, “George Strait - 01 - Unwound”

Hopefully this will be a quick one.

I use the native Apple mail program and have for years. Recently, somewhere around Mac OS 27, I began experiencing odd issues. At this point, they have culminated into a real problem: I can't reach separate email accounts.

Oh, Ican see the All Inboxes, All Drafts, All Sent, etc, but nothing below that would normally let me see each account's folders.

Help?

Hi guys!
I've been a heavy user of VLC for a long time.
Now, I do like the media player don't get me wrong. but I was wondering if anyone knows of any better alternatives for a mac with an M1 chip?
I have been encountering some issues with VLC particularly when seeking audio and such soI'll be grateful for anything that works.

Thanks.

Hi all I updated to Ventura 13.5.1 yesterday and noticed that when quicknav is turned on and I search on Google and then press h to navigate by heading Voiceover gets stuck at the first heading which has a link. Has anyone else experienced this? I want to log a bug with Apple however I want to make sure it's not just me before logging a bug.

Hi everyone

I might be considering buying a Mac Air. Before I do this, I have the following questions related to navigating between headings in documents with VoiceOver:
1. Can I make a document in Word for Mac, after that format the document with headings (on Windows you can press ALT+Shift+left arrow to do that), and after that navigate between headings with VoiceOver?

On Windows you can activate the quick navigating keys in JAWS, and after that use the letter H to navigate between headings in Word-documents, on webpages etc.
