Anne and Alex,
Very good ideas that I will sure put to use, especially turning off
hints for there are times... LOL And the shortcut to verbosity will be
perfect.
Activitiies I will explore down the road as I learn the basic stuff
first. Its important to learn the ropes and then start tying the more
advanced knots.

For quick settings changes, you can also use vo-v. Use left/right arrows to
move through the items, and up or down to select your preference. Enter will
close the window. Remember that these settings are not temporary or specific to
the current app, they persist across the entire OS. VO-v is not a local
settings change, it is a shortcut to common, global options.
As to Safari, I wrote a guide for AppleVis about using Safari and VoiceOver.

In the Verbosity category in VoiceOver Utility, there are five tabs. The Text
tab covers most of what you're talking about. I also turn Hints off as I can
get the hint for any item by pressing VO-Shift-n.
Remember that all the VO commands can be found by doing VO-h-h and VO-k will
allow you to test any command before issuing it.
You can also create activities with their own specific settings. I have an
activity for Mail which has as low verbosity as I can make it.
Cheers,
Anne

Had some more training with the Mac today and found some things I want to
look at.
One, are all the verbosity related settings in the same place in VO
Utilities? I ask because at least in Mail, I am getting way too much feedback
when typing text. Every letter gets the font and color attributes spoken. So
when I get in there to change settings I want to try and deal with everything
at one time. Probably will want to change other options too and hope I can do
most if not all of it at the same time.
I found Mail was not too bad after making a couple changes there and think it
will be fine.
Then we went to Safari and I found it hard to figure out how to navigate
around. Like moving from one heading to another. I thought I just needed to
change the rotor setting to Headings but the only options that came up were
Characters Words and Navigation. Are all the needed navigation controls in that
area? We had to stop there but we did find the options are checked in VO
Utilities so I will go back into Safari later and try again.
Lots to learn but its getting there.
