Re: navigon or apple maps?

Hello John, One thing you need to bear in mind when it comes to GPS apps, is that most of them require a 3G connection as the maps are not resident on the idevice. Navigon maps are resident, so it can be used in areas where data roaming would cost you a fortune. This is probably more relevant

Hi everyone. Just wondering if anybody else has encountered this. Since the beginning I've used VO on the Mac with my faithful old Focus 40 display, which rattles ominously now but is still going strong after 7 years. The shift keys on either side of the spacebar on the Focus's Perkins

Hi, Ben, I have a Focus 40 Blue. I admit that I have never tried to use the shift keys when assigning keystrokes. Have you tried this yet? I'd think it might be worth a shot. Go into VO utility with VO-f8 and choose Braille. Then choose the Display tab and once you have your display selected,

Hi Teresa. Sorry, I should have been a bit more explicit. I meant, when you're assigning commands in the Braille tab, you can assign keystrokes including the shift keys, provided the keystroke also includes the spacebar, but not otherwise. I'm assuming it has to do with how VO reads the key

Ah, sorry. I wasn't sure, so thought I'd double-check. Are the shift commands with space different from the ones without the shift? i.e. shift-space-h versus space-h. That is a good point. When I considered buying this display, I realized after looking at the manual that Apple commands wouldn't

Hi Phil, My mistake if I misunderstand you, but when you use chromevox, you do not use the standard VO commands or even need to interact with a web page. I would use safari to look up the Chrome Vox commands to learn how to navigate using chromevox. It takes some getting used to. Greg

Hi, In addition to what Greg mentioned, if you wish to use VO with Chrome, you'll need to turn ChromeVox off with ctrl-cmd-a-a. The ChromeVox keys are control and command so as not to confuse them with the VO keys. It does take some getting used to and I've found that, when using ChromeVox,

Drop-down menus do have the first-letter shortcut to jump to some item in the list. Works just fine if Amazon used them. In the case of the Departments list Amazon is making their own menus out of piles of containers with some css to style it and javascript to make it interactive. Any keyboard
