Hi, Rhonda Would you be able to outline exactly where this issue occurs? If I remember correctly, the default behavior of Voiceover is to speak every character that you type.
I used VO-V to set the verbosity preferences to what I believe is the default, and tried it out. Hitting command-N allows you to create a new card for a contact. You get feedback on entering names, however when it comes to entering information such as phone numbers, e-mail addresses you do not get any feedback, and I am not able to read what I have written without reentering the field. That only applies to some fields, though, oddly enough. Another point, now that you mention audible feedback. Creating separate groups does not appear to work properly, either, for those using it. Audible or otherwise, according to the sighted people I have around. Regards, Nic On Oct 1, 2009, at 10:44 PM, Rhonda Hornbacher wrote: > > Hi Everyone! > A brand new Mac user here!
