Planning a VoiceOver Main Menu Review

Sina and all,

To save some time and effort, at this point in time, and possibly never 
because of the power of the interface, we don't have an implementation of 
"quick nav keys"  Speech rate can be highly subjective but I find relatively 
high speed with VoiceOver to be comfortable and for my use favorably 
comparable to pc software speech.

I'd like to see spotlight demonstrated.

Yes, I would love to see it explore the internet.

Could you please illustrate first letter navigation such as by heading,
links, form elements, and so forth? It would be relaly nice to navigate a
field of radio buttons or something along those lines, as well as table
navigation.

Also ... I think that it would be a great benefit to hear the voice at an
extremely high speed for a little while, because most of us, if not all, do
not listen to our respective assistive  technologies at the default speeds.

Take care,
Sina

I think it would be interesting to see it used to explore the osx gui, and
maybe do a little web browsing if possible.
