AH, you sure will get a lot of responses on this. I tried ChromeVox and I just couldn't see the advantages at this point. The first problem for me is it just seemed slower and really did not provide the same level of access as VoiceOver. Perhaps there are additional tweaks, but now you have to learn not only the browser, which should not be to difficult, but you have to learn how to use this new screen reader. You cannot have VO on at the same time, so now if you want to copy info off the webpage and paste it elsewhere, you have to add another step to the process. NOw I'm not saying ChromeVox is inadequate or junk. What I am saying is my experience was not so amazing that I see any benefit to switching. I would like to use Chrome, but it does not seem to work as well with VO as does Safari. Of course if anyone has really been successful with Chrome and VO or ChromeVox and want to provide some tips/insight on how to make the experience nearly as good as using VO that would be great. I'm always willing to learn a new trick, but needless to say I removed the entire package because of the reasons I have already discussed.
