Subject: Re: Chrome Web Store - ChromeVox
Maybe try the following steps. These assume the current stable build of
Chrome running under MacOS 10.9.2. Also, since you will be using VO during
the process of initially installing ChromeVox, keep in mind that VO does not
always work the same in Chrome as it does in Safari or straight webkit.
Sometimes if I’m not able to locate an element in chrome using the VO web
rotor I might still be able to find it using the item chooser or by simply
taking the long way ‘round and VO+Arrowing or even tabbing through the page.
1. Launch Chrome.
2. Go to www.chromevox.com. On that page, navigate to the link labeled “”Install
ChromeVox” and activate the link by pressing VO+Spacebar. This will
hopefully take you to the appropriate Chrome webstore page for ChromeVox.
3. Now navigate to the button unhelpfully labeled “Free” and activate it by
pressing VO+Spacebar.
Chrome might popup a window listing the potential privacy and other issues.
If you are comfortable with these, navigate to the button labeled “Add” and
activate it by pressing VO+Spacebar. At this point the ChromeVox extension
should install itself and start speaking. You can toggle the active/inactive
state of ChromeVox by pressing Command+Control+AA
Some ChromeVox settings are adjusted by going to chrome://extensions, then
navigating to the ChromeVox extension and then activating the options link.
My suggestion after successfully installing ChromeVox is to go back to
www.chromevox.com, read the information on that page and walk through the
interactive tutorial.
HTH,
Bryan

Hi everyone. I’m trying to install Chromevox but I think I’m a bit lost.
The Chromevox website at http://www.chromevox.com says to activate the
“Add to Chrome” button, but I’m not finding that. Where might I be going
astray here? Here is where I went to try and get Chromevox.
