Hi again, And if we tried to read the captions with the mouse cursor?
1) in VoiceOver Utilities check the option "read everything under the mouse" 2) Put the mouse on the caption: a) with VO+left; VO+right put the VoiceOver on the caption. VO+shift +down to enter in the caption's element. Then Vo+right until the middle of caption. b) call mouse pointer to VoiceOver Cursor with VO+command+F5 3) Now play the video (VO+space on play/pause button) and put the head of index finger in contact with touchpad (don't scroll it). If you balance the head of index finger right and left - that produce a very small movement in the mouse pointer, sufficient to refresh the next caption. Is not the good solution but is sufficient to access to close captions with VoiceOver. You could check an example, in portuguese, of this with the "Debtocracy Documentary" at: http://universalaccess.blogspot.com/2011/07/voiceover-no-lion-cegos-leem-legendas.html Seems me if we could control the mouse pointer with cursor-routing keys of display braille this could be more accurately controlled, and we could continue to listen the caption or either read it in display braille - course, we need to be a very faster braille reader!.
