Hi all, I am not sure what folks mean when they say "crash". I have noticed that since the 10.6.7 update, I seem to lose speech more often than before. However, VoiceOver is still running, just no speech. You can tell because when you do Command-Tab, you can hear the clicks as you switch applications. Except that no speech is forthcoming. When this happens, you simply press Command-F5 to turn VoiceOver off, wait a few seconds, then turn it back on. Once VoiceOver is back on, everything is back to normal. The other small issue I noticed is that whenever there is a "System Wide Server" message, VoiceOver has a hard time focusing on it to read the message. So if I don't catch it the first time it pops up, I lose it. Other than that, everything is normal here.
