try navigating to a heading with quicknav in crome, you can't move once you get to it. the only way you can get around crome is using tab from my experience. since firefox do not cair about mac accessibility i still think Safari is the way to go. > On 5 Apr 2016, at 2:48 AM, Seyoon Choi

Re: Apple nylon weave Watch band

I really do like the nylon band the more I wear it. I can get it sized better as the holes are closer together. I’m looking forward to seeing what additional colors may come out. None but the pearl really suited me though I may get a black one. I also like the way it makes the Watch itself

Thanks for posting this, Janine. I have been seriously considering the nylon weave band, but haven’t even looked at pricing yet. Glad to see an opinion from someone who actually has the band before buying one. It sounds nice. And I agree with you about the sports bands, they are pretty

Re: Safari Annoyance in Latest Build

Well, to be fair, ChromeVox would be a better extension if it could actually announce the chrome in Chrome. You’d have to leave aside the fact that using a dedicated screen reader just for your web browser was kind of crazy to start with, but it’s basically the reality on ChromeBooks. -- The

Re: Brows mode equivalent for VO

There is nothing really equivalent to a “Browse Mode” with VoiceOver, which treats web objects like any other. You can use QuickNav, the numpad or the trackpad to make it go somewhat faster and easier than using VO commands, but the closest you’ll get to a fully virtual document is to use

Yes, I was going to get the Sonos system, but it is too costly to build the whole system. I have a work anniversary this month, so they are giving me some money and I could get one component. However, if I build my own system I can flood my entire house with sound. In a perfect World where I

Re: AirFoil

Just a question here. How do you use the sonos controler from the Mac? As far as i know there are tons of unlabeled buttons and such, enough so that it’s hard or almost impossible to use. Surely we could label the buttons ourselves if we had sighted people around to help us with this, but some

Jeff, I can highly suggest the Sonos sound system. I'm using it at home for my Gym and lounge and it's great, And it's useable from either a computer mac or windows desktop app or from an IOS device through a very accessible app and an apple watch app I currently don't get my tv through
