Hi,
However, it is sometimes helpful to know what the visual symbols or cues
are so that if a sighted person you know asks for help you can translate
things into that which they would interact with and understand. I find
knowing such helpful and intriguing in that context.
Take good care.

This is why I am a believer in teaching VO separat from visuals. This way, you
learn how VO interprets things and you don’t have to worry about differences.

My wife, who uses a Mac without VoiceOver because she can, pointed out
something interesting today. Apparently, VO announces menu access shortcuts in
a different order than the symbols are presented on the screen. For instance,
in Mail, for Forward (on the Message menu) VO says Command-Shift-F, while the
graphic shows the symbol for Shift first, then the pinwheel-like symbol for
Command, then the F. In the thirteen years I've used VO with MacOS, starting
with Leopard and then Snow Leopard, I've never known or noticed this. In fact,
I've never bothered to learn the shapes of the graphic symbols for Shift (which
I think is an up-pointing arrow), Command (the pinwheel), Option (which I think
is a wavy line or lines), or Control (which I don't know at all). Would
appreciate some confirmation and claraification on those. But isn't it
interesting that VO reads them in a different order, which means it's not
really reading anything at all--it's just reading the text from a symbols
dictionary for certain things.
