My advice for you is to try and use the mac as much as you can instead of trying to mix windows and mac especially with you trying to transfer over. Makes things a little tricker to learn. If you listen to podcasts about the mac you can catch on to voiceover very quickly, that's how I learned it and now I'm close to going mac full time. If you ever need one on one help with the mac, stuff being explained or demonstrated feel free to catch me off list and I can do what I know to help you even via phone or whatever if you need.

I'll keep this brief. My name is Laurel. I'm from Texas and I'm a 3rd year college student. I study French and Russian at school and other languages on my own. I just joined this group because this week end I bought a macbook pro and I'm making the pc to mac switch. I have a few questions about mac in general, and about switching from JAWS to vo. 1, what were some of the most important changes from using jaws to using voice over that you who made that switch had to get used to? 2, what are the biggest things I should know about switching? 3, what are the best web tutorials for learning voice over? 4, if any of you used Kurzweil1000 for Windows, what did you do for a mac? Are there any other OCR programs that work with voice over and are as good as Kurzweil? 5, I have office for mac, how vo accessible is this and what can I do to make it more accessible? 6, this is a mac question in general, what programs did y'all use to run windows programs on your mac, did you all use boot camp or something else and what's the cheapesst/easiest? Please feel free to either post here, or write me privately. I don't mind y'all writing me privately if it would help keep this list from getting cluttered up. I really don't wanna clutter the list with unnecessary messages, I just have lots of questions. /smiles/ Thanks for the help in advance, and sorry for asking so many questions right off the bat Laurel and Stockard <--- Mac Access At Mac Access Dot Net ---> To reply to this post, please address your message to mac-access@mac-access.net You can find an archive of all messages posted to the Mac-Access forum at either the list's own dedicated web archive: <http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/pipermail/mac-access/index.html> or at the public Mail Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/>.
