as far as reassigning the vo keys, do you use a number pad or a full keyboard? if so, you can use numad commander and never have need of the vo keys at all.

My number one feature I would like voice-over to have is to be able to reassign the vo keys to vo key or whatever I want. Also, an announce time and ate feature wouldn't be bad rather than having to rely on running another application and then assigning a key to it which is the case right now. There are a lot of other things I'd like Voice- over to have in it's future feature list but the above will do for now.From: macvoiceover-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:macvoiceover-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ] On Behalf Of Sara

I wish there was a feature to turn off speech and just have braille and no I don't mean just turning down the volume. smile I'd also like to see braille able to not follow the cursor so I could read while somebody was typing. I also get frustrated when I command tab back into pages or another word processor, that VO insists on reading my whole document to me instead of just the line I am on or even nothing.
I totally agree we need app specific settings.
I think the knowing when and when not to interact might be difficult as how would VO know when you need to interact or not? I think this kind of thing can be found out by trial and error. What I really wish somebody would do is write VO-specific documentation for Apple software like iWork or iLife so people would know what to do if they can't just click everywhere.
Well, that's it for now.
