The thing that disappoints me is that VoiceOver still doesn't automatically interact with html content when loading a web page like it did in Lion. It just doesn't feel as nice and seamless as it used to feel. I'll keep writing to apple but man, it would seem like the simplest of tries with VoiceOver by the development staff would show this. Bummer!

    Brian, now look, I do understand your frustrations; but, frankly,
    your personal attack upon me is entirely unwarranted.  I was truly
    only trying to help.  Perhaps you're just having a sucky day; I
    don't know.  We're all subject to those days now and again; but, if
    you are going to bite a hand that's only trying to give helpful
    advice, then, my friend, perhaps it's high time you stepped away
    from your computer for a bit and did something else to cool off.


    Sincerely,

    Typical of this list, some guy like this Ray offering a useless
    response to my constructive criticism. Anytime you say anything
    negative even like I did in a professional way, you get a guy like
    this Ray not adding to the conversation. I don't think I am out of
    line expecting improvements to Voiceover, I just voiced my opinion,
    and here comes this Ray right off the bat. I guess you are only
    allowed to praise Apple on this board. Ray, I would love to be a
    developer and help Apple in anyway that I can, unfortunately, I have a
    very limited knowledge when it comes to programming and what I am sure
    is some very advanced design work.

    I know that we are not Apple's main focus group, but two updates to
    10.8 and still not one improvement to Voiceover? There are some
    pretty
    basic fixable things, that I am very disappointed that Apple has not
    addressed in either update. And before I get blasted for posting
    anything negative on this board about Apple, yes, I have emailed
    Apple
    Accessibility, and yes, I have used a Mac for a long time. The one
    primary thing that seems like a quick fix would be getting Web spots
    to work properly in safari. I am still stunned that you have to now
    click VO command right bracket to go left or up a page, and VO
    command
    left bracket to go right or down a page. Anyone with the
    slightest bit
    of logic would have realized that this is reversed.

    Numbers is still very difficult to use if you have a big spreadsheet
    as there is no way to search for a certain cell in a large document.
    While the command to do this in Lion was bizarre at least it worked
    most of the time. Calling Apple Accessibility, I find it hilarious
    that the people at the specialized Voiceover department know nothing
    about numbers, and the numbers department know nothing about
    Voiceover. Pretty hilarious.

    QuickNav is still unbelievably buggy. Several times a day QuickNav
    just stops working, and I have to toggle VO off and on to get it to
    start working again.

    Just wanted to name a few and mention it would be nice to
    actually see
    a Voiceover improvement in an update to the operating system.
    Otherwise, what is the point of me taking the time to contact Apple
    Accessibility. They have gotten back to me every time which is very
    nice of them, but lets start getting some of these issues
    implemented.
