Here's your chance to pitch VO to a potential switcher or to pass along those
warnings that you wish you had been given.
I'm not a computer professional, though I've used everything from an Apple II E
with Braille Edit as a child to VersaBrailles and, today, both JAWS and
Window-Eyes. Right now, I generally use word processing, E-mail, the Internet
for informational purposes, and the occasional spreadsheet. I'm not a musician
or in any way likely to produce entertainment material on my computer, though,
once I replace my obsolete home system, I'm likely to try learning more about
podcasts and listening to more audio. I have checked out Screenless Switchers
and a few articles sited recently on the list and found them interesting.
Since I have no vision, I'm most interested in the thoughts of those who rely
on speech. My questions?
For those who use both, what are your favorite qualities of the Mac or of
Windows vs. the Mac?
What types of tasks does the Mac excell at?
For any non-computer pros: How long did it take to learn VO well?
I checked it out at the store and even read some documentation. I'm fascinated
by Apple's interest in building accessibility into their products, but I sense
that my learning curve may be steep. That being the case, I'm looking for the
low-down on what kind of bang I might get for my buck, so to speak.
Since I'm subscribed from my part-time job, I'll only be able to reply during
certain times on weekdays, so please don't mistake silence for lack of interest.
Also, if there are any VO experts in Pittsburhg, PA, feel free to write me off
list if you're willing to have a novice come and play on your computer.
Thanks a bunch for any input.
