Over all, I think GW Micro's response was good, the one part I disagree
with is saying that including a screen reader in the operating system
is a disservice. Apple has built an excellent screen reader in to their
operating system, and I would put its features up against the features
of the windows screen readers any day. At home, I use the mac for just
about everything now, and voiceover makes it accessible in a very good
way. As a blind person, why should I have to pay more than sighted
people do to use a device? As Serotek says, accessibility is a right,
not something we should have to pay extra for. The companies who make
the products should have the responsibility of making them accessible.
Voiceover works with many applications that are not from Apple. You
can't beat having accessibility right out of the box.
