That's odd. I don't have either option checked, and VO announces the result when I press enter. I never move from the input window where I land when the app first opens--maybe that's why? Either way, I nearly always use Spotlight, which is faster to get to and doesn't need a separate app. It's not as powerful, but if you just need to run a quick calculation or two, it can't be beat for simplicity. > On Mar 6, 2016, at 13:51, Christopher-Mark Gilland <[email protected]> > wrote: > > When did I say anything about it being obvious?
