Hi David, Thanks for this, gives me something to look for if I have to deal with one.
Cheers. -----Original Message----- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of David Chittenden Sent: Friday, 22 January 2016 7:16 PM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: HomeButton & Apple iPhone & VoiceOver (VO) Simon, The screen reader is Google's own. On ChromeBook, it is called ChromeVox. It is quite a rudementary screen reader. I purchased an Acer with 4 GB Ram and 32 GB flash storage. I tested a 2 GB ram touch screen ChromeBook last year and found the speech kept silencing, requiring unloading and loading ChromeVox frequently. The 4 GB model does not have this problem anywhere near as frequently. I opted for a touch screen model. Unfortunately, Google has only put the most basic of the touch screen commands in ChromeVox. Again, the keyboard commands for ChromeVox are rudementary at best. I am hoping it receives much attention soon by Google.
