A couple of other questions. Does vo have command to read the date and time,
battery status and Wi-Fi info like I could do in the system tray on the pc?
Thanks

Hi folks,

The command for using the spell checker is,

command-shift-colon

with VO+Space. Find the pop-up button that says, "when moving the cursor,"
and change the selection to "Speak text to the right of the cursor."

the spellchecker that Keith mentioned, I know it's something+semi-colon, but
can't remember what the rest of the keys in the combination are. LOL.
