Hello Heather. I would encourage you to start working with vo right away. Reading is ok but doing is great. You really don't need another screen reader on the mac because VO is part of the OS. Any other screen reader in Windows is a compromise at best. I'm not saying that Windows Accessibility is bad and that the screen readers don't work well. I am saying that VO generally works better and the overall solution is more cost effective. Think of it this way. ITunes is available for Windows and the MAC. There is no comkparison, ITunes works much much much better on the MAC. Synching with the IPhone is perfect. Any contact or calendar event I add on the mac synchs flawlessly because the whole system is designed to work together. This is true for VO on the Mac.
I hope you have a nice day. Since we're both in Austin, maybe we can get together and work with our macs. -----Original Message----- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionar...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of heather kd5cbl Sent: Friday, October 15, 2010 6:32 PM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Apple's event next wednesday I like vo but I was wondering if apple will allow other screenreader programs to opperate on the mac. I was just thinking about this because, I have jaws and NVDA on my windows computer. So when jaws is giving me grief, I can switch to NVDA which usually tells me what jaws won't or when jaws is stuck. I like plan b if plan a does not work.
