Thanks, also, for the explanation. Just started playing with Chrome myself, wondering if there are any extensions that do in fact enhance the web experience with VO?

It uses the OSX speech engine but otherwise does everything itself. Some folks find they can navigate better with ChromeVox but it means learning keyboard controls for yet another screen reader. It also means you have to turn VO off when in Chrome with Chromevox running or you'll get everything double announced and have keyboard conflicts. If you decide you need to do something outside of Chrome, such as pull an URL from an email it gets pretty messy. You would need to turn VO back on, go into email to copy that URL, go back into Chrome, and turn VO back off again. This is the general pain of self-voicing apps on a system that already has a dandy screen reader. Maybe you can more easily navigate complex pages in Chrome with Chromevox but it's a lot of rigamarole to deal with two screen readers. If you live within the Chrome browser though it could be a reasonable alternative. CB On 2/21/12 11:29 PM, ezzie bueno wrote: > Hello again, > > What exactly is Chromevox? I use Google Chrome.
