Mac-cessibility Quick Tip #10

28 March, 2008 @ 10:25 am by Lioncourt

Mac-cessibility Quick Tips is a feature of Lioncourt.com to provide brief tips and tricks to assist blind and visually impaired Mac users improve their Apple experience. Not all tips will be specific to VoiceOver, and most will work on either Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger or Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard. Now for this week’s tip!

While reading long documents with VO-A in programs like TextEdit and many others, you likely already know that pressing the Control key by itself will stop VoiceOver’s narrative. This key also works as a pause key, however. If you don’t press any other keys in the interim, press Control again to have VoiceOver resume on the next line from whence it stopped. This proves to be extremely handy if the phone rings, you spill a Coke on yourself, or Johnny needs help with his homework.

Until next time!
