I’m sorry if my questions are obvious, but I have only been blind a few years and this part of computers is quite different without a GUI. Thank you, Is it possible to compile speak up on my MacBook? I’m still having trouble navigating a terminal and if I could run speak up, I could set up an automated workflow to turn off voiceover, run speak up and run terminal? I don’t understand why there are not commands to navigate line by line in the native terminal on OS X. -Reece > On Dec 17, 2020, at 2:04 PM, Zachary Kline <zkline@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > Samuel, > > No, they definitely don’t.
