Hi all.
So I was in Voiceover Utility, and thought I'd adjust the pitch range, which I assume controls things like pitch change for capital letters and such. If I get on to the value, 35%,and interact, it says "in stepper", but then I have no idea how to change it. Vo-up/down doesn't work, VO-up just takes me to another value heading. VO-left/right just takes me through the text of the pitch range area.
Googling just turns up stuff about track pad gestures, I don't have a track pad. How in the world do you change this?

Hi for steppers, for example…
Hi for steppers, for example in VO Utility primary voice 0 Sentence Pause stepper, you want to interact with it, and then do vo-up/down to adjust it. Voiceover won't necessarily announce the value at first, but if you hear the same sound as when you do vo-space when doing vo-up/down on that stepper it works and you can just move around to know the actual value the control has.
Hope this helps.
PS: I asume you have a mac mini to not have a trackpad???
Thanks!
Ah, where I was confused is that I was expecting the changed value to be read. It wasn't actually navigating to something else when I did VO-up, it was saying "Hello, this is Reed" with the new value, so you could hear the effect.
Yep, a Mac Mini. I'm debating whether or not to get a trackpad, mostly because I'm debating whether I want to upgrade to another Mini, or pay more for a MacBook to get portability. I was using a Windows laptop, but it was plugged in most of the time. I don't travel a ton, but I do sometimes, so having something portable would be nice. Of course, a Mini would be pretty portable too, but it would always need an outlet.
Obviously if I got a MacBook, an external trackpad would be redundant. Hence the debating. Fun stuff! Now I just need to find where you adjust what VO does for capital letters. I think it's set to change pitch right now, and sometimes that works, and sometimes it seems like it doesn't.
What?
What happened to being able to just pressing up arrow or down arrow to adjust steppers? When did we have to start interacting with them?
