The biggest incompatability with vo is the preferences screen. Vo thinks there's nothing on the screen, but obviously there is, because your app is reading a pop-up box, but I can't get vo to admit there's anything there.
Reply: What you have noticed is an Apple bug in Carbon. I reported it already to them back in June at WWDC 2005 and submitted a formal bug later. Basically, a group-box with a popup menu does not report any "children" even when they are clearly visually present and properly nested. I think you are a developer too, so you might want to file a bug on it to. If you contact me off-list I can give you more details on how to recreate the issue in a simple test app.

Also, it seems that vo actually helps proquo in that while arrowing through the list of files in the finder, vo reads an item, then proquo does too. If I turn off proquo, then continue arrowing through the list, proquo gives no feedback as to what's being highlighted. I realize it's not meant to be a screen reader, but I can see a couple circumstances when the extra feedback proquo gives beyond what vo gives where this *could* be useful. I've noticed that proquo seems to see things vo doesn't sometimes. Of course, there's one or two things I've found that proquo reads wrong, but at least it's something, and every little bit helps.
Reply: I think this makes sense, in that Proloquo reads whatever is below the cursor and thus does not normally speak when you change the selection using the arrow keys, unless that moves the cursor (because you have tied the cursor to the vo cursor). I'd be very interested to hear from you want extra info would be useful that vo does not give. Please contact me off-list to discuss details.
