Nick, if narrator won't run, system access won't run. I use boot camp and am running k1000 just fine with jaws as well Ah, you don't have anything but narrator, but if you get audio, you can run k1000 without any other screen reader. I have an early MacBook and run windows on it just fine under bootcamp.
Yes, ocr is available on the mac but brf file translation back to english is another animal. I think it can be done though. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nicholas Abrahamson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, October 14, 2008 11:19 AM Subject: re: Jaws and windows on the mac I just have a 13 inch macbook with the standard video card that comes with it. When I went under about this mac, and clicked more imformation, under audio it just says intell high graphics audio, so I'm doing a dangerous thing here, and assuming that that's my sound card, because I don't see a sound solection under more imformation. Still nothing else from freedom scientific and I called microsoft only to feel slightly like an idiot, because I realized I had no screen reader on the windowos side, and thus no way to do any of the things they might possibly want me to do. My only excuse is that I've gotten a little used to built in accessability from the mac, and when I switched to windows it took a second to realize that there was nothing. What can I say, but that I was lacking coffee. *smile* I just can't help but think that there's an easier way to do what it is that I wanted windows for. I wanted it to install Kurzweil 1000 so I'd have an OCR program that could also read BRF files, because I read a lot of stuff for school from webbraille and bookshare, so I thought that kurzweil'd be an easy fix. Who was I kidding? it involved windows, ofcourse it couldn't be easy. Thanks for sharing your experiences with me. I don't mean to ask a dumb question but what's system access? How do it and NVDA work? Are they relativly easy to figure out? Is there something for the mac that would do OCR and or would be able to read BRF files? Thanks again for sharing your experiences and I'll keep you updated on the ongoing windows saga. Thanks, Nick
