Alex and Teresa, I have found this same issue, and have this theory as well. I do not often use the keyboard commander VoiceOVer scripts for this reason, such as opt+B for battery, opt+M for Mail, etc. With each of these commands there is a lengthy delay that doesn't make the command practical to use much. Once it is loaded into memory, it then works fine. As for the voice, I use Fred on a regular basis, and still find this delay even though the voice used for the script is the same one that VoiceOver uses at other times.
I hope this helps. Harry On dic 10, 2012, at 10:56 p.m., Alex Hall <[email protected]> wrote: > Me too.
