OK, here is the deal with Boom so far. Unless there is something odd with
my system, they have gone backwards with accessibility. In previous versions,
there was a window that would open when you started the app to allow you to
configure it. Well, the window appears, but VoiceOver cannot read it.
I am going to contact the developer and ask about this. I am not sure why
it has changed.
