The problem with Safari and Voiceover on the Mac, the behaviour is so random. The main problem is buffering. Sometimes I can go back a page and VO see's everything, other times I have to switch VO off (VO + F5) and start it back up again and the buffer is magically refreshed and everything is v

All. It appears that we need to identify some good troubleshooting tips on Safari when we get these strange issues. Such as: Web site, download link, version of OS, period of time you waited before reloading the page or Voice-Over. ETC. I do not think this is an hardware issue. It seems to be

Having an odd issue with chromevox at the moment, it doesn't speak if voiceover is turned on, the 2 used to work ok together. Chrome doesn't have the busy problem but it does have some odd quirks. Voiceover is unable to read certain list boxes, and if you come across some unlabeled links, voiceo

Hi James Sometimes VoiceOver crashes and restarts when using certain websites. I can reproduce this problem consistently when I log into our "Fritz!Box" web interface. Actually it's quite annoying also with VoiceOver verbalises the names of embedded image files which are used to make the web

Hi Brian, I'm running on a mid-2010 MacBook Pro, with, I believe, Intel Core 2 duo processors. My Internet connection is a university network, so I'm not entirely sure about speed, but it's pretty blazing fast by any standard, even on wifi. I don't know what these facts might have to do with the

Hey Zack -- Funny thing is, I would agree with your statement that "the Safari experience has grown more stable with every upgrade." I'm not sure I'd put this particular issue in the "stability" category, though. It feels more like a "performance" issue. Just a hunch. Almost feels like the webpa

Interestingly, the "busy, busy, busy" annoyance in Safari went away when I upgraded to ML. The trade-off was that Bento has now taken over the "busy, busy, busy" behavior. Regarding Chrome: I've been using it with ChromeVox a lot lately as one of my classes is neck-deep into Google Docs and I'v

This has never been an issue here, I've been testing ML since it was a release preview, and had no such problems. If anything, the safari experience has grown more stable with every upgrade to the system, not less. The only exception I can think of is with Lion, where it was briefly very difficu

This happens on my i7 MBA all the time. It was SOP under Lion and seems to be a bit worse in ML with safari 6 and webkit nightlies. I'll load up a webpage, bring up the web rotor, and will either have no elements listed or just a few items, usually in the links section. If I cycle VO, the elemen

I wonder if this is hardware-related? The only reason I ask, is that back in the days of 10.4 Tiger, we all had the same problems. Nowadays, some of us experience problems whilst others don't. Moreover, the problems are quite diverse. Thanks James On 8 Nov 2012, at 11:51, william lomas wrote

Morning folks, When clicking on links, has anyone else noticed the seemingly constant need to restart VoiceOver under Safari 6x? It's as if even though the page loads, VoiceOver does not register it. Restarting VoiceOver seems to remedy this. Just curious. Thank you Take care James Skype: s
