Hello, In addition to Sarah Phil’s responses, I’ll add the following: 1. There is a built-in hotkey to announce the date time. The hotkey is Right Option + T. I believe this hotkey is disabled by default. To enable it, press VO+F8 to open the VO Utility, select Commanders, select the Keyboard

Hi! And yet further to what has been said! *smile* To make sure that the shortcuts work properly when you go to VO+f8 you should be on the general option arrow right until you find [allow voice over to be controlled by apple scripts] and make sure that is checked! Then you can press command+8 to

The reason I don't teach that at all is the key board short cut works but it is so slow, it's way way quicker to go to the extras menu. It takes about 30 seconds for tghe key stroke about 10 to 15 once you get the hang on your vo keys to do the same. I forgot about the web rotor in qn mode. I

Hi Sarah! The only thing I can think of for you to get such a slow reaction from Option+T is because you might not have the [Allow voice over to be controlled by apple scripts] checked in the general part of VO+f8 If you have this checked I do not know why it is slow for you! When I hit

You can also install a script to announce battery status. All I have to do is press option-b and battery status is announced. I am running Snow Leopard. Karen - Original Message - From: Catherine Golding cfgold...@comcast.net To: mac-access@mac-access.net Sent: Saturday, November 12
