There is a menu of the widgets, if you click on the widget icon you will see the menu at the bottom of the screen and you can select which ones you want to use. However, in many cases once the widget is on the screen, you cannot enter the widget unless you use the mouse, the VO cursor will not enter. Vickie

Hi Vickie;

How do you select the different widgets or applications?

In other words, when I pull up my dashboard, the only application that seems to come up is the calculator.

Very few of the dashboard widgets are really accessable. I have tested them all, and some will let you enter the widget but little else. I have made a number of bug reports on this problem so Apple knows. Vickie Weir

Hi Everyone;

They say necessity is the Mother of invention and, indeed it is.

While I was working in the checking account I needed to use the calculator.

It worked.

I can use the calculator but, is their anything else that I can use on the dashboard?

What are widgets and, can they be used with vo?

When I use the calculator, I tab to the number and then press it with the vo keys and the spacebar. Is their a more direct way?

Thanks for taking the time to read this email and a very healthy and happy and safe LABOR DAY to all of us in the USA.

Sincerely
