I don't know what to do with podcasts in Catalina. when I open the app it lands
me on search. then I can right arrow along and get things like: Apple podcasts,
listen now, browse, top charts, library etc. nothing at all happens when I try
to interact with any of these things. I frequently hear:
Hi, group.
Today, I tried to reach energy saver preferences in System Preferences but I
could not find it there. Then I typed Energy Saver in SpotLight and found
the following dialogue box:

Hi Eileen,
So great to hear from you, I hope you and your husband are well.
I think the issue here is, because I don’t have a Braille display, the commands
button won’t show up. God bless.

OK, thanks for confirming. that is exactly the situation. Like Brad, I've
received newsletters that are unreadable, but that isn't the case with this
one. It just doesn't work with VO-A.
Cheers,

I have also found this with certain formatted emails. It’s not necessarily a
situation where it isn’t readable. It’s just something specific to the
formatting that seems to cause VoiceOver not to be able to read it from top to
bottom.

This is readable, just not by using VO-A.

Hi Matthew,
Check in the VoiceOver Utility (VO+F8). Select Braille in the categories table,
then select the tab for Displays. Use the Tab key to move through the settings
and you will find commands there. I’m not sure how to use or set commands for a
display.
HTH.

1. Open VoiceOver Utility using VO + F8.
2. Select Navigation from the Utility Categories Table, or press CMD + 3.
3. Navigate to the item labeled "Synchronize keyboard focus and VoiceOver
cursor”, and make sure the checkbox is checked.

Perhaps the content is not accessible.
I receive inaccessible newsletters from various senders frequently.
The content of these newsletters is an inaccessible graphic that contains
information that looks nice to sighted recipients, but is unreadable by a
screen reader.

I think my vo and keyboard focus are synced but I often have trouble because vo
is reading something but keyboarrd is sitting at the top or beginning of it so
they're not together. is there a way to get keyboard focus to go precisely
where vo is?

Hi everyone. I am working with a student who is using a Brailliant 32. I have
used this display in the past, but it was a few years ago. None of the commands
for VoiceOver work for the display and I think they need to go into the
commands table to fix it. As I don't have a display anymore,
Try interacting with the body of the message, and see if the command VO + A,
will work.

The message I'm having trouble with is a newsletter, so it contains headings
and images.

Oh, and no. pressing Enter to open a message used to result in VO reading the
whole message, but it doesn't seem to any more.

If I'm not mistaken, CMD + A, should select all.
The command to begin reading from the current position of the VoiceOver cursor
is, VO + A.
On my MacBook Pro, running the latest update of Big Sur, this command works as
expected.

Hello Donna,
I haven’t updated yet but here are some suggestions:
1. Did you try VO + a?
2. If you open an e-Mail using Enter VO should read its content automatically.
All the best
