Hi Alex, Haven’t heard your podcast on AppleVis yet, but there is a bug with Calendar which you might like to take into account when doing any future podcasts on Calendar.
When in month view, VoiceOver does not detect or announce some calendar events either when on a day of the month or when interacting with that day. I reported the bug to Apple and they confirmed it and said they are working on a fix. Strangely, the bug only seems to affect some Macs, and on the Macs it affects it only affects some calendar events and not others, and comes and goes depending on which calendars are enabled on that mac. Also, when the bug is present, VoiceOver will sometimes detect and announce the event if you navigate to it using the tab key or the arrow keys alone (with Quick Nav turned off), even though it won’t detect it when navigating with the VO keys. One work around can be to switch the calendar into week view, where all events are read, but even this seems to only work on some Macs. > On 7 May 2015, at 4:05 am, Alex Hall <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi list, > I know some of you have been asking questions about the calendar app on the > Mac.
