One thing I have noticed is that VoiceOver scans the screen similarly to how a sighted person looks at it. For example, when entering a form field in Windows, Jaws uses the tab keys to move through the form field. I find that, with VoiceOver, on the other hand, I use my right and left arrows to navigate the forms and have no problems filling them out. Whenever I use my Tab keys, I tend to miss a lot of textual information. Since learning to interact with dialog and list boxes, I find it almost automatic to me. I also like the idea that, if I enter an incorrect bit of information, I can go back through the form and delete the text entered and replace it with the new one. I tried that in Windows the other day, and the Backspace key took me out of the form field. I know this because my wife was watching the screen while I was filling out a credit card application and was able to follow the form as I went through it. If that doesn't convince her to convert to the Mac, ...... Richie Gardenhire, Anchorage, Alaska.
