Apple Releases Mac OS X 10.5.3 with VoiceOver Enhancements
— ♣Today, Apple release Ma OS X 10.5.3, which contains a significant number of enhancements and fixes for the operating system, including VoiceOver. Some changes in VoiceOver include:
- Braille Update 1.0 which enables GW Micro, HandyTech, HIMS, Nippon, and Papenmeier Refreshable Braille displays.
- Addresses an issue with Braille dot 7 and 8 underlining.
- Fixes an issue in which HTML page anchors may be ignored by the VoiceOver cursor.
- Fixes an issue that prevented Hot Spots from being used in text areas.
- Resolves an issue with spell checking in which VoiceOver may only announce the first misspelled word if there are multiple words spelled incorrectly.
We’ve also noticed that Voiceover no longer crashed in the "Get Info" dialog for folders and volumes when navigating to the "Sharing and Permissions" section.
There may be other improvements as well. We’ll keep you up to date if we find them. You can let us know as well.
As always, you can update to the latest version of Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard through "Apple Menu->Software Update".
