Hello, as I am totally blind, I use mac osx with its integrated screen reader. Voiceover. Installing growl (last october i had the free version) I was extremely impressed by its speech capability, the possibility to make all my notifications talk without performing any screen reader action. But... but it never worked! I thought it was a matter of compatibility, Growl not working with osx lion as it was older. Then I bought the one coming from the app store, now I am running latest version; but, the problem persists! My last attempt was to turn voiceover off, pressing the normal hotkey command+f5, and... that's it! growl started to make me crazy with spoken notifications! It spoke all events incoming from a hour before! So, there were about one hundred contacts coming on and off line, chat messages, musicality notifications the only way to read chats from skype or adium(another third-party application) was to write a message, turn voiceover off, and then wait for the answer! This gives no comfort, as it would mean me to spend all my time on the chat window as, without voiceover, I cannot do anything! The trouble is, some other blind users I asked, Growl and voiceover work perfectly together! May it have inherited problems from the oldest free growl version? I thought it was impossible as I uninstalled old growl with its proper script, downloaded from growl's web site; it inherited preferences, I am sure as they were as before, with new growl. But maybe it took problems too! Now I'd like to empty it, to uninstall growl completely. preferences, database, and so on I turned it off from settings, rebooted system and the problem persists. Before thinking the trouble is outside of growl, I'd like to remove Growl completely! I just read the documentation on how to delete files manually, I'll try it up; do you suggest me this too, then reinstall growl itself from app store? I am not afraid to pay again, as it says "install" and not buy, so, no fear. I'd like to understand why to other blind people it works, to me it doesn't! thanks for help!
