this is not true, item chooser does in deed work with text. Link chooser does
not but I did just try this and as I was sure, if you type in a word you know
is there, item chooser will find it on the webpage. vo--i

Hello, the problem is item chooser does not work with text in a webpage
only with links comboboxes etc so if you have a long page of just plain old
text which i do have a lot item chooser is no use. I also have this problem on
another site i frequently visit called head-fi.org, which is a web-based fourm.
If i wanted to jump quickly from post to post in a thread i would type in join
date and i would quickly be where i wanted to be. I cant do this with voiceover.
I still have to read more about hotspots, i hope that will work, that would
at least solve one of my problems.

item chooser is so much better for finding text. and try hotspots. they
are very useful.

Hello, i have used my mac all day yesterday, in windows i use a small
program called webformator to read internet webpages, it translates them AND
all the webpage controls into text, thich is veru useful because you can reach
everything by doing control+f, comboboxes edit boxes text inside the webpage
links etc etc and if you switch to another window you stay where you left off.
With voicover i havent found text search to work yet but what is more
of a problem is that when i switch to itunes for example my place where i left
off is lost. This is a big problem for me since i read a lot of large pages
with a lot of text and few links so it takes ages to get back.
Is there a solution for this, hotspots maybe?
