Hi David, As a blind person using VO on the Mac? Not much that I can see. I was asking a serious question. I really wanted to know what advantages you found in using this method to see if I might find it useful in my own work flow. Not for nothing, your answer really didn’t explain the advantages to me. i find this to often be the case when people answer a question with a question of their own. JMO. thanks anyway though.
