Hello Gordon and everyone,
VO was beta-tested by people who have no connection with Apple, I know this for a fact as I was one of them. I also know that I am far from being the only one on this list.
VO has changed dramatically from its original manifestation when it was called the "Spoken Interface". I'm sure I still have that original version on a backup somewhere if anyone is interested.
As for VO behaving differently for different people, this is probably because of the many different settings we can choose. It might also have to do with differences between machines, particularly with the change to Intel Macs.
Anne
