Hi all,
I've gotten used to the vO way of doing things, though old habits die
hard and I occasionally wish there were an option to have vO behave
like jaws. It's a thought. On the other hand, if I'm alert, then
knowing I'm after the word I just heard as I went forward has its
advantages, if I think and take advantage of it.
I have this thing about dedicating myself to learning how the Mac
works on its own terms, then maybe making suggestions for improvement.

Simon, thanks for your note. Just to be clear, I actually feel
that rather than being a playground mentality, this is a valid
discussion of paradigm.
I for one feel that one paradigm is in essence, deceptive, and the
other is not. However, rather than saying one is wrong, I feel that
this whole issue could be helped with two things.
• a simple explanation for both Windows and Mac users
• The ability to change the discussed 'deceptive' behavior of
Windows screen readers
Now, since the later is really out of scope for this list, let me
simply ask if people think this behavior of VO on the Mac might
benefit from having the ability to act like a Windows screen reader?…
I for one think not, but that's just me.
HOpe this clears things up at least from my end of the universe,
<smile> and let me wish you, Simon, a completely awesome day /
evening!…
Rock!
Cara :)
