Forget my last message about voice rate.

[kary johns]

Actually scrap my last message. I realized my mistake  about 5 seconds after 
hitting send. I wasn’t looking far enough across in the voiceover default voice 
panel.  Wish I’d realized that one about an hour and a half ago!!    Waisting 
my afternoon on this was really not what I had in mind.  But at least voiceover 
and Alex seem to be behaving now.  
Thanks again,
Kari.

Can't speed up the voiceover rate.

[kary johns]

Hey guys,
So I managed to get Alex back, by resetting the voiceover preferences.  But now 
all voices I try are incredibly slow, and won’t increase   even when the rate 
says its set to 100. The rate won’t change  no matter what it’s set on 
actually.  The only place I can see to change the rate is the system voice.  
Any ideas would be appreciated.  This snails pace is driving me crazy. 
Thanks,
Kari.

Re: Voiceover freezing in Mojave

[kary johns]

I hadn’t seen mention of it any where as a bug, so I suspect something went 
wrong in my update.
Thought I’d ask though before I went a head and did a reinstall. 
Thanks Guys,
Kari.

Voiceover freezing in Mojave

[kary johns]

Does anyone have a clue as to why voiceover stops working after a few minutes 
on my Mac book pro?
It’s only started doing this since I updated to Mojave last night.  I have to 
toggle voiceover off and on, then close and open the screen before it will 
start talking again.  Just toggling voiceover isn’t enough.  I’m using Alex on 
a Mac book pro 15 inch 2018 with touch bar.  
Thanks for any thoughts. 
Kari.

Re: Problem spell checking and selecting text in pages after update.

[kary johns]

Thanks all, cmd : does work. so that’s something at least. I preferred
cmd  ;, but spell checking is spell checking at the end of the day.
So I’m just happy I can spell check in any way.
Jürgen your way didn’t work, all it did was to start reading the
document, which to my understanding is what that key stroke is
supposed to do anyway, it reads all selected text nothing to do with
spell checking.
Thanks everyone for the help.
Kari.

Re: Problem spell checking and selecting text in pages after update.

[kary johns]

Thanks all for this.
Any suggestions on how I could get spell check working again though?
When ever I try it it just says check document now, and that’s it,
even when I’ve deliberately spelt something wrong.
Thanks for any thoughts.
Kari,

airpods not working with mac book pro

[kary johns]

Hi all,
Just curious if anyone else is experiencing this problem, or has any
idea what to do about it.
I bought the AirPods recently.  They paired fine, and work perfectly
with my iPad and iPhone.  But when I come to try and use them with my
mac, it’s a hole other story.
The mac says there connected, and I get the connection sound through
the airpods.
But voiceover and all sound continues to come through the macs
internal speakers.
On the one occasion sound came through the airpods, it was
intermittent, and reverted completely to the macs speakers after only
a few moments.
Anyone else seeing this behaviour?
Kari.

gMail won't download new messages

[kary johns]

Hi guys.
Really hoping  some one can help hear.
I had to replace my mac book pro a few days ago, my old one died completely.
I setup all my mail accounts on the new one, and up to last night everything 
was working fine.
I tried to check my gmail last night wen I came home from work, and couldn't 
get it to download any new mail.  My bigpond is working fine, just the gmail 
refuses to download new messages.  I've deleted and and recreated the account 
several times and still nothing. If I go to get new mail  in the menu bar, it 
says it's dimmed. I haven't changed any settings.  I've logged  in to gmail 
through the website and everything is working fine, and as you can see I can 
still send mail.
Has anyone got any ideas  what I can do to get it working  again? 

Thanks in advance, 
A frustrated! Kari.

apology and thanks to those who have helped me recently

[kary johns]

Hi guys,
I just wan't to apologise for not replying or thanking the people who
have answered my questions in the last couple of months,
Some health issues that have come out of no ware have really thrown me
for a loop.
I've been checking my gmail account very rarely , and it's only a very
 quick glance through then.
I would like to thank people individually, but I had to do a mass
deletion.  There were just to many messages to wade through. (smile)

I Think i'm  starting to get on top of things again, so hopefully I
can start to contribute to this list again.
Thanks again for all the help and suggestions, it is appreciated.

Kari.

Vo no longer reading characters

[kary johns]

Hoping someone can help hear.
I'm not shore what's happening, so I'll try to explain as best I  can.
 I turned my Mac on this morning to find that  voiceover  won't read
by letter's when I use the left and right arrow keys, it will only
read by words.
Also using  tables seamsbe acting strangely, but I cant quite pin point how.
I think I've turned something on  or off by mistake, but can't for the
life of me work out what r how to fix it.
The only way I can get it to read by letter's is to hold down shift vo
command  and then press left or right arrow, I used to be able to just
use the arrow keys on there own in text edit to read by letter.
The arrow keys just aren't acting like the usually would. It's
incredably frustrating torying to work like this.
 Everything in voiceover utilities seams to be set rite.
Does anyone no what I might have done?
Thanks for any help,
Kari.

downloading and reading epub ebooks help please?

[kary johns]

Hi all.
I apologise if this has been covered on this list already, But I've
been sick, so haven't been able to keep up with the lists like I
usually do, so please bear with me.


I'm trying to read epub formatted books I've bought online from
Borders, and am not having much luck.
I've bought the book, and installed the kobo reader or what ever it's
called that the website tells me to install.  But when ever I try to
download the book the app opens, and all I can get  voiceover to say
is unknown.  So basically can someone tell me how to download and read
epub books on the mac?
I'd like to be able to transfer them to other devices to, but I'll
settle for just being able to read what I've baught
Can some one please help, I've been playing with this for nearly 2
days now, and am incredibly frustrated now!
Thanks,
Kari.

I am using control option A, it reads for a paragraph maybe two, then
just stops. I Have to press control option A again to get it reading
for another one or two paragraphs.  Not really the ideal way to read a
long document.
Does anyone no what I'm doing wrong? or how I can fix this? I'm really
hoping someone can help me sort this out, it's a small, but
frustrating !problem.
Thanks again for any help-suggestions.
Kari.

 Every way I’ve tried to read eBooks or long text documents, it either
 stops every few lines or every paragraph, or makes that clicking sound
 after every couple of lines.
 Is there a way to read books and long documents without this
 happening? Or will I just have to live with it.

 I love my Mac except for this problem. JAWS has always done well with
 continua’s reading, I’m really hoping there’s a way for the Mac to do
 the same.

 Thanks as always for the help,
 Kari.

How to read ebooks on the Mac?

As the subject says, what’s the best way to read eBooks on the Mac?
Every way I’ve tried to read eBooks or long text documents, it either
stops every few lines or every paragraph, or makes that clicking sound

Is there a way to read books and long documents without this

 Hi Kari,

 I'm sure someone on this list has answered all your questions by now, but
 here's my little two cents :).  I think to read an entire document with
 VoiceOver, you have to press VO and A. That tells VoiceOver to read the
 document from where the cursor is till the end. I don't believe that you
 need a Spyware or antivirus program for the Mac, but another list member
 would be able to help you with this one. I currently don't have anything
 like that installed on this Macbook. I've been a Windows user for ages, and
 use Trend Micro on my Windows machines. I love the Mac, and only have my
 Windows PCs around for the programs that I absolutely need that aren't
 compatible with the Mac. I hope I've helped somewhat. Have a great day.
