I don't recall what system and os you have. I'm not sure how to tell you how to look to track down the issues or where to start at any rate. It could be partly that you are new. what computers have you used before? how technically minded are you? you need to do a good deal of exploring if the results of exploration make sense to you. Other than that , There is lots of info you probably already know about on: http://www.icanworkthisthing.com
It seems to me though that at least part of your situation has to do with something that knowing how to use vo will not fix. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kaare Dehard" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "General discussions on all topics relating to the use of Mac OS X by theblind" <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, August 08, 2008 8:22 AM Subject: Re: Web help suggestions Thanks, david. Being completely new to all this, my next question would be where do I start looking? Because I have just begun browsing the os and am getting the lay of the land, troubleshooting and where to look are amongst the current mysteries for me. Thanks in advance for any further suggestions from the list, you folks are a great help!Î On 8-Aug-08, at 8:12 AM, David Poehlman wrote: > I don't know what the issue with text is because on all the pages I > look at, > I can get to everything on the page but the thing that trips me up > is the > apple start page which has a bit of something moving on it which > causes vo > to speak the text over and over unless I interact with it. > > Firefox will not help.
