Hi Paul, WHile I can't help with Audio Recorder, DropBox is a somewhat special case. There was a howto posted not so long ago on Maccessibility about it. Find that at http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/maccessibility-news/~3/-MTMKfChwgs/ As for the more general problem, I've rarely if ever encountered it. I suspect that it has a lot to do with apps which, for whatever reason, don't use the standard Coco APIs. A lot of crossplatform programs work this way, for instance, using something like SDL to do their GUI rendering, which neither VoiceOver nor any other screen reader I know of can parse. Hope this helps, Zack. PS: If you've already installed DropBox as per above, you won't see anything to let you know its running, other than perhaps an entry in your login items.
