There is no solution that I know of for keeping your place in a web page.

this is not true, item chooser does in deed work with text. Link chooser does not but I did just try this and as I was sure, if you type in a word you know is there, item chooser will find it on the webpage. vo--i

Hello, the problem is item chooser does not work with text in a webpage only with links comboboxes etc so if you have a long page of just plain old text which i do have a lot item chooser is no use. I also have this problem on another site i frequently visit called head-fi.org , which is a web-based fourm. If i wanted to jump quickly from post to post in a thread i would type in join date and i would quickly be where i wanted to be. I cant do this with voiceover. I still have to read more about hotspots, i hope that will work, that would at least solve one of my problems.

item chooser is so much better for finding text. and try hotspots. they are very useful.

Hello, i have used my mac all day yesterday, in windows i use a small program called webformator to read internet webpages, it translates them AND all the webpage controls into text, thich is veru useful because you can reach everything by doing control+f, comboboxes edit boxes text inside the webpage links etc etc and if you switch to another window you stay where you left off. With voicover i havent found text search to work yet but what is more of a problem is that when i switch to itunes for example my place where i left off is lost. This is a big problem for me since i read a lot of large pages with a lot of text and few links so it takes ages to get back.
Is there a solution for this, hotspots maybe?
