Hi All,
I am trying to figure out the best way to input text when using
Voiceover. I am new to Mac OS X.
Taking the example of composing a new message in the Mail app, should I
start interacting with the text area before I start typing? I notice
that text input works when interacting or otherwise. My biggest problem
right now is when trying to review what I type in. if I move left or
right with the arrow keys, I am not absolutely sure what character is
under the curser. Sometimes, a character is repeated twice when moving.
And then, I am not sure if the delete key will delete the character to
the right or the left of the cursor.
In short, it is not a very pleasant experience when entering text. I
read through the "Working with text" chapter in the VoiceOver guide but
it doesn't talk much about input.
Any information is greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Kiran Kaja
