It certainly works, features are somewhat limited, it does not use
VoiceOver, and is not setup like a standard Apple application. Instead it
has been ported over to Apple using its' own speech and essentually the same
keys as the Windows version. But, it is better than nothing.

The iPal now works on a Mac.
It is self-voicing.
I never considered one, but just heard from a doctoral student friend of
mine who swears by it, and its speed.

Hi,
We have been kicking around the idea of getting a couple of new macs for
a
couple of weeks now since bothour pc's are not working that great
anymore.
The main thing that is holding us back is our heavy reliance on Kurzweil.
I
am a grad student and we also use k1000 for scanning our mail daily. I
know
we could either do a duel boot system or run a virtual machine and then
can
use k1000 this way on the mac, but I wanted to ask knowledgable folks
first
about this before we jumped in.
We heard about another kurzweil product that is for the mac, but it's not
self voicing, and I don't know if vo works with it. Does anybody have
any
mac specific solutions that work well for scanning text books? For
scanning
the types we all get in the post? I use the bookmark features in k1000
quite a lot, plus the dictionary a lot and have preferred it a lot for
the
proof reading I do for book share over ms word.
Oh, that's actually another question, we were told that pages actually
isn't
that great or useable...
Lots of this info is coming from people who don't use vo regularly.
For us, though, this scanner stuff is the only thing standing in the way.
We do have a old power book, but it's the old non intel mac, so we're
stuck
running leopard on it, can't do a virtual machine or anything on it, it
doesn't support the magic track pad, and we can't upgrade to snow leopard
or
anything beyond what we already have on it(we already called apple about
it).
Any help or anything would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Caitlyn
