Hi Bevi. I’ve found VoiceOver to work very well in Word documents that open in TextEdit, but I haven’t done much work with that or Pages yet. Regarding pdf files, I have found that they work best if I forward the ones that are emailed to me, to my work email account. My volunteer job email account is a Google subdomain, and if I just hit Enter on the pdf attachment it reads just fine. I still have a bit of confusion on the whole interaction thing in VoiceOver, but I’m getting the hang of it for the most part.

Welcome back to the list, Jake. And welcome to the Mac World, too.
Thanks for your review of VoiceOver.
Question: how well does VoiceOver work for you when reading native Word
documents and accessible PDFs?
(I mean a really accessible PDF, not one of the millions of junky, poorly
constructed PDFs that aren't fully accessible.)
