Hello,
As far as I know, there are no quick nav keys for VO in the apple browser.
I don't know which TTS is used, possibly a preprietrry from apple. There
are some alternative voices from sepstrel, incorrect spelling possibly, but
their stability with other apps and vo, may be in question judging from
comments on the vo list.
Hopefully you'll get a better informed response from some one else here.
cheers,
Joe

Afternoon,
I recall a discussion not long ago on one or other of these lists
about the Voice Over screen reader on the Mac. Apologies to which ever
list it wasn't on. *Smile.
Could anyone help with the following questions?
1. Does Voice Over support quick navigation keys on web pages?
For example, Jaws and Window Eyes both use the l key to move to the
next list on a page, or Shift l to move to the previous list on the page.
Jaws also uses g and shift g to move between graphics, p and shift p
to move between paragraphs and t and shift t to move between tables.
2. What Text to Speech (TTS) engine does Voice Over use?
I've been trawling the Apple web site, but don't seem to be able to
find much information apart from the basic marketing blurb.
If anyone could let me know where I can find more substantial
information on Voice Over, or if anyone has the manual they can let me
have electronically, I'd be most grateful.
As always, thanks for any help.
Tink.
