Hi Darcy And Cameron too.
Cameron thanks in advance for the kindness.
Darcy, this is perfect.
as for your sharing your own experiences, the wonderful hing
about humans is that we
each learn differently and personally I would not project how i learn on
to another. This guide would not exist if it served no purpose.
thanks!

Hi Karen. Apple does have a getting started with VoiceOver guide. You can
read it online here.

I think you can also order a braille copy.
That being said, I'm not sure I'd agree that you really want to dig that much
in depth with VO until you have a Mac in front of you. Some of the concepts
will seem very alien until you can try it. I'm referring specifically to the
concept of interacting.
Speaking from my own experience, I found I got all the fundamentals of VO from
the quick start tutorial built in to the OS. The rest I learned as I needed it.
If you're going to read up on anything before hand, I think you'd be better
served by learning about Mac OS 10 itself rather than the screen reader. Apple
used to have some great documentation for switchers on their site, that
outlined the major differences between the Mac and Windows. I'm sure it's
still there.

Hi all,
If I have read it once I have read it a zillion times, and agree. It is
important to know a screen reader as completely as possible.
I prefer, especially if I cannot get hands on training, or if I have seen that
others may have issues, to read as much as I can in advance.
so, has anyone put together a solid users guide specifically for voiceover? I
realize any such guide would be in flux, changing as apple upgrades the system
in general, and voiceover in particular. Still a solid guide, more for
reading than say someones audio tutorials would be fantastic.
Say the sort of book one would use in a classroom, or that would have come in
the box with your old style screen readers?
thanks in advance,
Karen
