Hi, after pressing VO J, when reading a message, when I do a Command Option P, the machine just dings. And, what I mean by pauses, is at the end of each line of the text in the message, Voiceover pauses and then continues to read the message.

It is as if you were continually pressing Down Arrow to read a message.

We're not talking about much of a pause at all really, but it sounds unnatural to hear pauses at line breaks instead of at the end of a sentence.
I wonder why Command Option P is not working?
Thanks.

A number of us have reported this since day one of Snow Leopard.
Anne Robertson explains the behavior with the following statement. VO now pauses when it meets a newline character. You'll also have
problems with messages in HTML. The solution to that one is to press
Command-Option-p to turn it into plain text.

Hi Jim,

I have not noticed pauses, the reading seems to be smooth ancdconsistent.

Can you give us any other information, so, that we can help you with this.

Thanks.

Hi to the list.
I am amazed at how efficient moving from the messages table to the text of messages works, it is lightning fast.

It seems like VO pauses at the end of each line of the message, creating an unnatural reading experience.
Any way to change this behavior?
Thanks.
