What I mean is that I cannot have VO to read to me the content of web pages via Safari 3.2.1. Used to use FireFox but it would not read outloud the web pages; and, since FF was an HD hog as well as a RAM hog and I only have about 20 gigabytes left on my iMac G4s HD, I went back to Safari after it was upgraded to the point of no longer crashing. My iMac G4 is a Power PC Computer running Tiger. Now also have a MacBook Pro running Leopard but am just beginning to learn the ins and outs of Leopard; mostly, through Apple - Leopard Guided Tour video. My MacBook Pro is Intel Core 2 Duo with 160 gigabyte HD and the only thing I've done to it is to install Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 and my Epson Scanner and Epson Printer software. Have too much else to do to be able to spend as much time as I would like on the 2 Macs.
Hope this helps explain things. When I have time, will check Apple's site at Support/VO accessibility with web pages. Help files on my Macs don't seem to help. Also, have not yet figured out how to use VO with iTunes although with the latest updates was informed that it was possible. Thanks for asking and for helping.
