Hello all,
I've posted this before but we have people coming up with questions
again about how to read an entire web page. It might interest some to
know that whether vo is running or not, you can get your mac to read
any selected text in any application. This comes in handy even with
vo because as we have seen, it is nearly impossible to get vo to read
an entire page from top to bottom. This spits out the page in a
string of speech so don't expect miracles of high quality reading from
it and you can change some of it's behaviour under speech in system
prefs.
Most apps have a "services menu" under their app menu such as under
the safari menu in safari, there is a services menu, right arrow into
this menu and move up a couple of strokes and you will see a speech
menu. Both start and stop speaking are available by pressing right
arrow from this item. you will notice that they are dimmed. To make
them active, interact with the page if you must not all pages require
this and then select all. go to the menu and click speak and enjoy.
