Hi Andy
Partly as a word of caution, and partly because the memory makes me laugh a
lot, be careful if you bugger about with the voices on your device. When
Martin was new to the Mac and was learning to use his Mac Mini, he tried out
some of the other voices besides Alex with hilarious but frustrating
consequences. One voice was spoken with every word sounding as though it
were laughing, making it almost impossible to understand, and therefore
difficult to get it back to Alex. He managed to retrieve Alex in the end,
somehow, but it was really funny and annoying at the same time. I wish Alex
was on the smaller Apple devices, but I believe it has something to do with
memory that he can't be used.
Kind regards,
Jackie Brown

Ian et al - Made some progress now. On the MacBook [guess some are using the
Mac pro instead] As well as using the VO keys in conjunction with some of
the function keys, the FN key need to be incorporated too. So, for example,
to activate the app chooser, the keystroke is FN/Control/Options and F1
press price. This is also the key combination when using F8 to bring up the
VO over menu.
I've also been able now to get Alex as my VO voice, but again, I wasn't just
presented with Daniel or Alex, but had a whole table of voices to choose
from, but most of them [probably all except Daniel and Alex] had to be
downloaded. I'm not sure if all these other voices are for free, or paid for

Press VO keys plus f1 twice to bring up the app chooser.

Hi again - meant to say that I know about using the VO D key
combination to get to the dock, but is the dock the only way to quickly get
to apps? -

Hi all -
Getting on pretty well, and finding out all sorts of
stuff, but still confused about a number of things as yet.
I notice that I can use Command tab [like alt tab in
Windows] to see what apps are running, but that key combination doesn't let
me in to the app to work with it. Anybody tell me how to do this? And also,
how to quickly find a list of apps, like with 'all Programmes' in windows?
Thanks -
Andy
