Hi,
I believe I have discovered my problem, though I am unsure of a quick fix (besides some alterations via terminal). Windows and Mac OS X use very different linefeeds at the end. Windows uses a carriage return, whilst Mac simply uses a linefeed character. These files were most likely created on a Windows computer, thus they are encoded for viewing on a Windows operating system. Running some commands via terminal to convert them from dos to unix format was successful, and the problem with VO saying 'new line' and 'return' seems to have disappeared. Running this on every one of these files could be very time consuming and irritating at the very least, however. Does anyone have experience with converting the linebreaks on these sorts of files to OS X format?

I have several articles, documents and books in simple document formats (.txt, rtf, etc). Whenever I read these in TextEdit/Pages, every time a grammatical or spelling error is discovered, VO interrupts the reading flow to make that known. Also, every time a new paragraph begins, or there are blank lines, it says "return" or "new line". This is extremely ideal for editing or word processing, but not for reading something without annoying and unnecessary interruptions. Is there an app that would be optimal for reading long texts, such as textbooks or articles? It seems iBooks is still largely inaccessible even with the 10.9.3 update. Alternatively, can I turn these announcements off in the Voice Over Utility? Thanks in advance -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
