I'd like to add that vo-f2 reads the current window title, and vo-f3 reads the current item in vo's focus. So, if you are on the "search" field on google, vo-f1 will say "Safari, x running applications", vo-f2 will say "Google Search", and vo-f3 will say something like "Google Search search text field". Just for informational purposes, vo-f4 reads what is in keyboard focus, including which word the cursor is on if you are typing, and vo-f5 does the same for the mouse cursor. If you have anything selected, such as when selecting text or emails to erase, vo-f6 will read what is selected. As Chris said, if these don't work and you are using an Apple keyboard, add the function key. On Dec 14, 2012, at 12:45 AM, "Christopher-Mark Gilland" <[email protected]> wrote:
