Hi there.
I don't get all that much repetition and sometimes I get nothing read at all.
I guess it's just one of those things that doesn't speak perfectly 100% of the
time but it's pretty good.
I prefer to VO around instead of having auto-speak but of course the auto-speak
option is great if that's your cuppa tea. smile
What else can I use the terminal for? I don't do much techie stuff but it just
reminds me so much of DOS that I sort of would like to play with it.

I use the terminal all the time, including compiling, and (yes, even those
text-based telnet accessible games sometimes) I'm not getting the repeated
screen reading you're talking about, but, honestly, I think you'll get used to
the automatic reading, and grow to like it better than just using the vo cursor
to do the reading, as that's a whole lot slower, and more trouble. Tiger
behaved this way, and I have to say, for me at least, the leopard automatic
reading is worlds better.

Hi all.
I am using the Terminal to play an online text-based game. I didn't think
it would work, but typing telnet and then the address sent me right there and I
was playing in no time. Oh the 80s feeling I get from this is so awesome...but
I have a question about VO. It seems to like to auto-read the screen and it
often repeats a lot of the same lines. How do I turn this off and just read
with the VO cursor? I'd like to turn auto-reading on and off easily and only
for Terminal.
Thanks!
Sara who is loving her Mac.
