For the battery, you're setting a visual display option, and the info that shows up then when you access the battery menu, is its opposite. So as VO can only read the menu option and not the icon itself, it reads the opposite of what you've set.

I thik I understand what is happening. If you look at the safari view menu,you will see hide this or hide that. this is the action that will beperformed if you activate the item. This is the case with the battery and even the time menu. It does not tell you what it set to but rather what itwill be set to if you punch it. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cara Quinn" <Cara-Quinn@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <macvoiceover@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, July 08, 2008 1:40 AM Subject: [macvoiceover] Re: macbook battery menu query Ah, perhaps I wasn't clear enough. (also, see my prior note) I wasn't saying that the options don't appear to speak the opposite of what you've selected; I was simply saying that this behavior is not a bug. I've given the reasons for this in my earlier note. Thanks for your response and have a lovely evening!… Smiles, Cara :) On Jul 7, 2008, at 4:35 PM, Travis Siegel wrote:I beg to differ. When selecting percentage, vo most definitely speaks time remaining as hours/minutes. When you select time remaining, vo speaks the remaining time as a percentage of 100 for remaining battery life. Try it yourself, and you'll see this is what happens. On Jul 7, 2008, at 6:31 PM, Cara Quinn wrote:this is not a bug. When you set that option, you're setting a visual option, not an auditory one. thusly, no bug! <smile> the auditory feedback you're getting from VO is simply a voicing of the status in the menu itself, and not actually reflecting the visual status of the icon. HTH and have a great day!… Smiles, Cara :) On Jul 7, 2008, at 5:53 AM, Travis Siegel wrote:The time/percent options are reversed. (and it's still that in leopard, despite numerous bug reports on the matter) Just set it to whichever one you want, then try it out. I use icon mode myself, but choose what works best for you.

Can anyone tell me what the percentage option is for? I've selected percentage and when looking in the battery menu there's no percentage option shown. It is showing me in hours how much battery capacity is left.
