OK how on earth do I get safari reader? Apparently, the rest of the universe
has figured this out, but I can't. For some reason, when I try to launch the
apple support pages to figure out what this safari reader is/how to download
it, I get the system greeting saying "welcome to Mac os 10, Voiceover is
running" this happens every time I try to interact with the HTML content.
Does anyone have any help or advice here? I'm feeling a bit stupid and
frustrated as it seems that other VO users have figured out how to get safari
reader, what it is, and how it works. Why might the APple support pages cause
my computer to crash running safari 5?
I'd really love any help anyone can give me here. I don't see the reader in
any of the menus and can't look up anything on the support site with out my
computer relaunching the mac system greeting instead of interacting with the
HTML content!
Thanks, an d sorry for my frustration!
