The only, and i repeat the *only* feature i would like to see in Voiceover is some development of a feature already present in VO. Back in the Outspoken days, you could mark hot spots on the screen and give them names, and then you could navigate to them using that name. In VO there's a similar concept, only you can't give hot spots a name only a number and the hot spots aren't saved on a per application basis, in fact they are not saved. That's too bad because that feature in combination with the ability to move the mouse in smallish increments would be very helpful in places where you can't access a control or graphic or what have you in any other way.

I wish there was a feature to turn off speech and just have braille and no I don't mean just turning down the volume. smile I'd also like to see braille able to not follow the cursor so I could read while somebody was typing. I also get frustrated when I command tab back into pages or another word processor, that VO insists on reading my whole document to me instead of just the line I am on or even nothing.
I totally agree we need app specific settings.
I think the knowing when and when not to interact might be difficult as how would VO know when you need to interact or not? I think this kind of thing can be found out by trial and error. What I really wish somebody would do is write VO-specific documentation for Apple software like iWork or iLife so people would know what to do if they can't just click everywhere.
Well, that's it for now.
