This tutorial is SOOO helpful! Thank you. For some reason, I was quite confused by the official Voice Over tutorial, but this one just summed up so much essential things in just 10 mins. Awesome.

I have been using a Mac since 2015, and in that same year the screen broke. Due to a few reasons that don’t matter for this comment, I’ve started to use an external display, a monitor. But, when installing an operating system update, I would not be able to see the setup guide with my monitor, so I stuck with VoiceOver. I used the official tutorial on the website using my phone each time, but I never quite understood. I got it to work by pure luck every time. Now I’m trying to do the same but found this video. It was a matter of seconds just to apply what I learned here and I think now I actually understand it. I might not have to look for a tutorial ever again. I’m so grateful. Also, I am studying software engineering and I want to specialize in accessibility features. So, learning more about what’s already built-in and what’s available is a giant leap forward for me. Thank you so much for this video!

Awesome Intro. Very clear and easy to follow. Thank you!

Thank you for explaining how to use VoiceOver and the good thing about screen reader.

Awesome tutorial ! Thank you, unfortunately i don't get the highlighted blocks for headings, contents , etc as i navigate through the page, how do i turn that on?

Really excellent video. I don't know why I've found VO to be so counter-intuitive to learn. This helped enormously and I've subscribed and look forward to future videos. A couple of notes: - On the Mac, the VO keys are Control + Option (not alt) which is shown onscreen but not mentioned in the audio. - One thing that I've really found useful that is not noted in the video is the VO lock command. Just type Control + Option + ; (semicolon). From that point on you can leave out the control + option part of all commands. For example: instead of control + option + right arrow to navigate through the document, it's just right arrow. U brings up rotor. Command + H goes to next heading. Only problem is you have to remember to do it each time you start VO.

Thanks for the awesome video. I am totally blind, and I have a Mac and an iPod. I just got the Mac not too long ago, and I love the voice over. Could you let me know how I am able to upload videos on KZfaq using my Mac if there is a way to do that? Thanks a lot

amazing series :)

Thanks for the helpful video. I have had zero success with the VO keys control and option. It does nothing for me. Any ideas? - I've tested it with two different keyboards - no dice. Thanks.

Is ALT and option the same thing cos u say ALT but it shows option on the screen. In a Mac keyboard, it is actually option key that is ALT (2 names for the same keyboard key)

Thank you for ths wonderful tutorial! It was really helpful! 💜💜😊😊

What's the difference between VO+Arrow and Tab key?

How do I select and click on a label?

Are there tutorials then tell about using voice control for dictation and voiceover for reading what you dictated in the same document

Sweet! Amazing and helpful, not just for developer. Thank you, thank Google. :)

amazing presentation!

Now its helpful for me to debug voiceover issues :)

Thanks Rob, if I get my website working well with the ChromeBook voice over is that likely to work with the windows and a mac computer?

Great video. Wondering how to fix a VO problem on my iPad/iPhone- a bit over a month ago, VO would not read out words in some native apps but would in in others. Same problem in 3rd party apps- reads out in some, but not in others(KZfaq is a good example- does fine here.). I have updated the IOS on all my IOS devices, checked all toggles in Accessibility for VO, but with out luck! Help! I rely on VO telling ,me what I just typed so I can hear spelling mistakes instead of waiting to try to correct things later. Any thoughts??

For those who want to turn voiceover on and off if you have a MacBook with a Touch Bar, if you don’t have the function keys showing automatically on the Touch Bar, do command + fn + F5

hi how are you doing there are two problem in the newest google chrome first i have so many folders inside my bookmark when you go to bookmark manager then to any folder then the folder must have special link like the all old version of google chrome but in the newest google chrome version the feature removed can you return it pls because i want to use always the newest version of google chrome second problem is when you go to bookmark manager there is button its name page down on the keyboard this means i will go down to explore pages but now does not work well pls fix the issues so important if my questions not in the right place to ask tell me where i can ask thanks a lot

This Video Is Siiiick I Loved it

I have a question, Voiceover is a default screen reader for Mac, before we rely on it do we need to check what application our actual user use? Also, what are the common screen reader people use?

i'd like to do this kind of accessibility debugging but i work on a windows desktop. i have a couple macs and used to use them all the time, but i don't prefer to use them generally anymore, and really only use them when i have to work with keynote. do you know how i can get that kind of visual overlay you get from voiceover? i've tried NVDA and its voice log is alright but it requires you to move your mouse around and it's just not the same kind of view as in voiceover. thanks!

What is Shortcut for landmarks??

Very nice tutorial..

My Mac does not have any "F" keys. What do I use?

Is it enough? But a third party screen reader, might have more features. Most of them are too expensive. What‘s your opinion?

How about some stickers for my comp?

i teach a disabled man w Cerebral Palsy and has iphone 7+ the Voice over was great until got to passcode and it was too much double clicking. the speaking of content was great. is there a way of just letting phone read out things with a single touch to passcode? thank you

Is it possible to use the MAC OS Speech feature to create voice over for youtube video and later monetize it?

There's 1 little hitch. On the mac, it's not called alt, it's called option, but your on the same page.

Lol you kept saying control alt lol I do the same mistake is control option the voice over modifier key however, if you on a laptop you can make your voice over modifier key your caps lock so you don’t have to hold down control and options it’s easier.

Very good information 👍👍👍🇵🇰

linux?

Just a point for the video editor, the transition every 10 seconds quickly becomes annoying would be better if the camera and screen recording would be visible at the same time

Shouldn't we be doing mobile first?

Fantasic Rob the video looks so recent.

I use Ubuntu machine, it would be great to see screen readers for Ubuntu

pro tip: if you use fred voice everything sounds like steven hawking is saying it

Why not have an "aria-pronounce" tag where you can just pronounce each word, but the actual word would appear on screen while using a screen reader?

"Alt" is called "Option" on Mac. Keyboards no longer even say Alt.

Take care of the year and Video ой saver пой совет пользовались фо

no i hate it

Why does everyone have voice over speaking so fast to sound like a Delek, even on many accessibility training modules they do the same thing, why play something so fast making as its hard to understand what's being said.
