The continuous reading function in VoiceOver is not yet very robust. VO
+a reads from the top of the current control, and vo+shift+w is
supposed to read from the voiceOver cursor till the end of the
document. In my experience, vo+shift+w works for the most part in text
areas like the text edit buffer, but does not work correctly in HTML
documents. In html documents, it only seems to read to the end of the
current paragraph or link, etc.
To move to the top of a web page, try vo+shift+home, or maybe just vo
+home - again neither seem to do the right thing. In a basic text
buffer like textedit, you can do command+arrow to move to that edge -
i.e. command+upArrow moves to the beginning, and command+rightArrow
moves to the end of the current line. WOuld be nice if these worked
in HTML documents as well.
Hope this helps.

I'm trying to figure out how to get to the top and the bottom of a
webpage or document. I've tried the vo command left and right arrows,
but when I use the arrow keys to read inside a document or text field,
I always still seem to be at the place where I was before, whether
that's the beginning or the end of the text. Also, is there a way to
have VoiceOver read from the cursor to the end of the document instead
of starting all the way at the beginning? I was reading a story and
had to stop it for a minute. When I returned, instead of resuming
from where I left off, it started reading from the beginning of the
text.
Thanks,
