Hi,
I'm not really sure what going on with the bookmarks issue. Hopefully, someone
else on the list can give you an answer. As far as voiceover not talking after
the low battery warning, go into voiceover utilities with control option f8.
Under general, check Allow VoiceOver to be controlled with AppleScript. I
think this will help. Also, go to system preferences/speech. Under the text
to speech tab, uncheck Announce when alerts are displayed if the first step
doesn't solve the problem.
