Apple has so much broken this OS. I have no idea why they would think of releasing it without having paid more attention to what they were doing. I wrote this to the accessibility email address, even though it may not be totally their fault, I can't believe they don't have some input into what goes into their new OS.
Hello, I am extremely disappointed with the lack of attention paid to accessibility in your latest OS10 release. You overhauled the look of your software, while not thinking of those of us who have grown to trust you with our accessibility needs. I know many visually impaired beta testers, most under NDA with you per each release of both desktop & IOS software. I realize we are a minority in the big picture of your customer base. However, if one has paid money to participate in your testers program & is paid lipservice to what is reported, what good are the testers? Has the quality control suffered because the upgrades are now free? Aren't we as a disability community owed a description of what we can expect in terms we understand? It looks pretty, but acts very much like something from a crackerjack box. I can't get to my music in Itunes because the views I have become used to have disappeared. There is no more sidebar. In spotlight search, which is supposed to search for references outside my Mac, I hear either the words button or image in the search results. How is this useful to me or anyone who would try to use it with no vision? As I stated earlier, there are those who have been under NDA to attempt to alert you of the issues before release. Those same people had enough respect for their contracts to not divulge issues that may concern the rest of us. However, in return we all got slapped in the face. There is a site that gathers bugs, along with other content. In case you are interested go to www.applevis.com As has been shown, I doubt any of this will be taken to heart. I can only hope. My next computer, if I need one will be a Windows machine. They are cheaper, maybe a little buggy, yet I know what I am getting. Premium prices should reflect premium quality in every sense of the word.

Enable it in accessibility preferences, and use it by pressing the same command you'd use to start dictation (press that key once more to stop). The problem is that VoiceOver is muted during all dictation, which now includes issuing commands, so even if a command works, you get no spoken feedback. > On Oct 18, 2014, at 5:55 PM, Faisal <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi everyone, > did they completely do away with voice commands on Yosemite?
