If I can't reliably use the machine to browse the web, then it's not going to suit my needs. These issues do not occur with Jaws or, to my knowledge, with NVDA. Apple has shifted most of its development away from the Mac, and, ever since the iPhone 5 Maps debacle, they have just been rushing out

I have this problem too. sometimes it just quits talking and makes this buzzing sound as if it's completely overloaded. I'm not running catalina yet. a work around I have found is to turn vo off, wait for a few seconds and turn it back on again. sometimes that works and sometimes it doesn't. >

Hi Eric, I understand your frustration. I have similar problems on a website that has a lot of material and possibly graphics/pictures. I’m also now irritated about certain bugs which Apple has failed to fix although I’ve been reporting them for over 4 years. Getting a Pc has also crossed

Hi all, I am hearing "Safari busy" way too often on my Mac. I just visited allmusic.com and tried to look up an artist and read the bio and some album reviews. When I first accessed the site, VO would say "Safari busy" but would work eventually. Then when I got to the artist's actual page, it

Hi, In Numbers, you can have multiple Sheets each having multiple tables. Use the Sheet navigator to move between the various sheets and, if the tables aren't properly labelled, you'll need to interact with each table to determine if it's the right table. I'm not aware of any keyboard
