right, call apple care, give them your serial number and when a
solution is not found, ask them to escalate it to the vo dev team.

I've used it for youtube and all kinds of things. Maybe we should
give Apple the serial numbers for computers where VO works well and
computers where it doesn't. I really don't know what it can be, but
it doesn't seem as though it has to do with RAM, at least not for
me...

Put another technical way, the program is frozen/not responding. On
Windows, this would be like when a program is doing lots of work,
or becomes stuck, and the screen reader can't read anything from
the window because of this. VoiceOver doesn't seem to get stuck
like many of the Windows screen readers when applications freeze,
but, when the applications freeze, it blocks VoiceOver from reading
anything in their windows.
This happens to me a lot in Safari, particularly when on sites like
Hulu that show video content. When the flash player on the page is
running, it seems to bog down Safari/make it respond slowly,
VoiceOver responds slowly, and I hear "Safari busy".
I have a MacBook Pro (2.5Ghz dual core and 4GB of RAM), so I don't
know how much more computer you're supposed to throw at it to make
it run smoothly. Maybe flash player is just a terribly written plug-
in, and no amount of CPU power and memory will help.

Subject: [macvoiceover] Voiceover saying busy all the time
Hi,
I've just installed Snowleopard on my new Mac. I've noticed that
over the last day or so, Voiceover has been saying "busy" quite a
lot, particularly when opening Safari and Itunes. Is there
anything I can do about this?
