Travis is correct in all of the information he provides regarding katieplayer and VO. Bottom line, the current version of katieplayer is self-voicing, is not a Cocoa application and (since it is not a Cocoa application) does not generally work with VO (though some dialogs added in the last release do work with/rely on VO to provide access). The new version of katieplayer currently under development is a native Cocoa application and works seamlessly with VO.
Hope the info helps. Joe On May 5, 2006, at 11:26 AM, Travis Siegel wrote: No Buddy. You're getting the normal Katie player behavior. I've already made my thoughts on this known, and Joe assures me the new version will behave better. Basically what you have is katie player, and nothing vo can see, so it appears like nothing is on the screen. When you start it, give it a minute or so to finish it's thing. Then you can press tab to move around the fields of the registration screen. You'll have the same problem once you begin using it to read books. Wait a while, then use the l (or command-l) depending on whether you're loading from cd or hd. It's not very intuitive for vo users, since we expect things to work in a certain way, and unfortunately, katie player was written before vo existed, so it doesn't follow this model, and that confuses most folks, and tricks them into thinking it isn't working, when in fact, in most cases it is working just fine. I've also noticed that if you try doing anything with vo before katie is ready, you do get the behavior you describe. Be patient, then begin tabbing, it should work better then. -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ .
