Randi, Congrats! Okay, so hear are a couple of really useful commands for you.
VO F2 twice quickly will bring up the window chooser. This will show you a list of all of the windows VO can currently see. From here you can press return on a window and you'll be brought into it, which means you'll then be able to navigate around within it with VO and read what's there. The next command is VO F1 twice quickly, which will bring up the application chooser. this also, is a list, but this time you're seeing all of the running applications (or programs) on your system. Pressing return on one will either bring you into its window or bring you to a submenu of its open windows. Pressing return on any of those will bring you into it so once again, you'll be able to navigate around within it with VO so you can read what is there. Have you been able to access the VO getting started tutorial?… It should discuss some basic VO commands for you. Anyway, hope this helps and don't worry, this will only get easier! <smile> Have a terrific night!… Smiles, Cara :) --- View my Online Portfolio at: http://www.onemodelplace.com/CaraQuinn On Feb 28, 2009, at 9:34 PM, rayna424 wrote: So guess what? I got it running!! It doesn't work very well. But its kinda there. Wow. Don't know how I did it. Now I think I just need to know more commands to interact with it. My boyfriend sent me a test message and it worked. Couldn't hear myself type to replyt though. Probably will only use it to get back in touch with people.
