Hi Mike and all, I may be missing something here, but I'm able to enter information in the fields you mentioned just fine, and move around the information I entered with the arrow keys. What I do is use the VO cursor to explore the layout of the card when creating or editing it, rather than tab or another more traditional method. I set VO's verbosity to low, and don't hear the "Edit Text" announcement, but can still create new cards and edit them just fine. Sorry I'm not more helpful in this case. Best, Zack.
