Also, for a wordprocessing application, Mac's Textedit which comes
with the operating system is very accessible unless your client
requires very advanced features. Tables do not work with voiceover in
Textedit, for example. Best wishes, Simon

Hi
Well, I can't comment on Pagemaker or Turbotax so I'll leave that to
others. It will not work with Word and Excel, but here are a list of
programs that could easily replace them:
For Word, there's Nisus Writer Pro and OpenOffice which also has a
spreadsheet program. At this point I'd recommend Nisus as Openoffice
still has a bit to go in regards to stability. For another
spreadsheet there is a program called tables which works very well
and has very good excel compatibility. Currently Tables is what I'd
recommend for spreadsheets, as it is stable and very accessible.
Have a look at www.nisus.com for Nisus Writer Pro, and http://www.x-tables.eu
for tables. If you'd like to look at Openoffice, go to www.openoffice.org
. For accessible Mac versions of Openoffice you'll need to have a
look at the current 3.0 test versions, as the 2.4 version is not a
native Mac program.
Hope this helps

Hi guys:
I am currently working with a client who is a teacher and she is
losing her
vision. She is using the Mac to do all her school work. She told me
that she
was having difficulty to read text in the computer for long period
of time
because her eyes get tired easily.
My question for you is the VoiceOver will work with the following
programs
such as Word, Excel, Page Maker, and Turbo Tax. My client wants to
use these
programs using a screen reader for Mac. In my understanding that
VoiceOver
will not work with these programs, but maybe I am wrong.
In addition, if you have any suggestion of programs which will work
with
VoiceOver and have the same features of the programs listed above,
please
include them in your reply.
You can also email me privately if you choose to. Thank you very much
Barbara
