Hello David,
Yes, you can start from a particular point and read to the end of a
web page. It's easiest if you have all your cursors tracking one
another:
• Find the point from which you wish to start (it must not be a link);
• Click 3 times with the physical mouse;
• Move to end (VO-Shift-End), it must not be a link;
• Hold down Shift key and click with the physical mouse:
• Use the Start Speaking Text command.
It's quite quick to do when you get used to it, but it's best to
have set a shortcut for Start Speaking Text.
Cheers,
Anne

Subject: Reading a whole web page
Hello James,
To read a whole web page, position yourself on HTML CONTENT WITHOUT
INTERACTING AND PRESS COMMAND-A TO SELECT ALL; GO TO THE SAFARI
MENUS,
PRESS S FOR SERVICES, GO RIGHT TO THE SUBMENU AND PRESS SP FOR SPEECH
AND PRESS RETURN ON START SPEAKING TEXT.
YOU CAN SET A SHORTCUT FOR THIS IN SYSTEM PREFERENCES UNDER
KEYBOARD &
MOUSE.
ONCE YOU HAVE READ A WEB PAGE, YOU CAN GET QUICKLY TO THE PART YOU
WANT BY USING EITHER THE LINK CHOOSER MENU (VO-U), OR THE ITEM
CHOOSER
MENU (VO-I). JUMPING FROM ONE HEADING TO THE NEXT WITH VO-COMMAND-H
CAN ALSO BE VERY USEFUL.

I think it is reading the first screenful of text. I do wish there
was a say all on the web, yes I know we can stop interacting and
read with VO A, but that reads from the top.
