hey Nick,
yay, glad to see another person enjoying voiceover!!! it does my heart
good to hear people say I'm new to the mac and am impressed with it so
far, lol. yay!!
I've found safari to be the most accessible browser, yeah. there are
still a few things that apple needs to fix re voiceover and safari,
but for the most part, safari is really great. there aren't too many
of those navigation commands like in jaws and that's one of the things
I'd really like to see more of. there is VO command h to jump through
headings, VO command v to jump through visited links and VO command j
to jump through form fields. I think those are the only ones so far.
I never really spell check my email messages, haha I'm so bad I know!!
so can't really tell you about the spellchecker in mail, but it
surprises me that it's not the same. I thought the spell checker was
the same throughout everything that used it?
keep enjoying voiceover and feel free to write back if you have more
questions!!

Hello guys and girls, my name is Nik and I am new to Voice Over and
MAcs in general. So far I am very impressed with everything I have
encountered. However, I have a couple of questions.
When it comes to accessing the web, is Safari the most accessable
application out there? Also, I have plaied with DOM and group modes
in voice over, but are there any other voice over navigation
shortcuts simular to "H" to navigate headers using Jaws?
Also, I have a BC (book courrier) and wanted to know if anyone knew
of a transfer tool for the mac or what success has been had with
running the transfer tool in some sort of virtual windows environment.
Last (for now) Does anyone know of a accessable voice recording
application that comes with the standard OS install?
Also,... I have worked out how to do spell check in text edit
(command+;) and then use (VO+shift+m) to access the spelling
suggestions. However, in mail, I can access the spell check using
(command+;), but the VO shortcut to access the spelling suggestions
does not work, so sorry for the spelling errors, but does anyone
have any input on this?
Thanks in advance for any and all assistance.
Nik
