I couldn't figure out how to get the program to actually be self voicing. If I turn VoiceOver off, it's unusable. How did you get it to work without voiceover.

I think this statement is faulse. Unless I'm missing something, I'm using it with VO just totally fine.

My apologies, that was my mistake! I’ve updated the accessibility ratings for the app. Sorry for the confusion, as this app is not self-voicing.
