I get the vo-c and vo-w commands, which I didn't know (or had forgotten). However, if I interact with a tweet, I can't move past the first word. Is there a way I can do this? VO obviously sees the text, because it reads the first word fine with vo-w, but I can't get it to move to subsequent words. Is there a command I don't know, or do the app makers need to do something? Am I stuck with the pasting into an edit field workaround forever? Thanks. On 26 Jul 2012, at 14:40, Mark BurningHawk Baxter wrote:
