Also remember that the documentation that comes along with OSX is really
good about teaching a user the different keys for navigating around with
VO. All the same, if a user is familiar at all with using IOS, either on
the phone, IPod/IPad, etc, it's not much a jump to understand how it
works there on the Macs too. I'd even say that using a bluetooth
keyboard on an IOS Device is a really good start to learning some of the
commands you'll be using on the Mac, as most of them are exactly the
same. One huge thing to get used to when you're learning how to move
about with voiceover, at least for me, was using the voiceover keys
along with other keys to issue the commands, vo plus the arrows, vo plus
space, vo plus shift plus up and down to move in and out of an object, etc.
Having been mostly a windows user, I was used to using either the tab
key, space or enter to activate buttons, the arrows on a webpage and the
review commands for my screenreader to see the information on the
screen. The mac goes about things completely differently, but, I did get
used to it. smiley
Just a few thoughts of my own. haha
Take care and blessings.

I’m not going to address your question fully, I hope you understand
that this is a topic outside this list so I’ll answer by saying that
yes the environment for browsing is a little different to when
compared to a Windows PC.
There’s no need for a “Forms mode”, that’s the first thing you’ll
notice so as you browse the page what you see is exactly what you
have, edit boxes, the works.
Navigation can be done in a variety of ways including a Trackpad which
- when wanting to browse a Web page quickly - makes all the
difference, naturally what you can do on the Trackpad you can do on
the keyboard but I find the Trackpad faster, just like using the touch
screen of an iPhone.

Hi!
I’ve changed the subject line <smile>.
Voiceover works very well for me and - for the most part - always has
done over the last 8 years but there’s no doubt that Voiceover itself
- like everything else - has gone ahead in leaps and bounds.
There are some truly remarkable Apps out there for those who like
audio including the best value for money audio editing software that
money can buy for a computer of any platform, I speak of Amadeus Pro
of course.
I think the purchase price has gone up a little since I purchased it
around 6 years ago but its still good value for money given that you
can do multi track editing and so on.
The there’s that other tool I wouldn’t be without, Audio Hijack Pro
which does exactly as its name suggests, hijacks the audio from any
source and allows you to manipulate it, capture it, record it, send
it somewhere else etc.
I’ve only scratched the surface of course.

Ah right, I answered that in another eMail, its not a worrying
factor as I'm quite sure I'll find something, just a matter of
finding the right people to ask, the people who know what they're
talking about.
In the meantime? Well for my situation particularly, I needed to
purchase an external drive anyway so what I'm doing and have done
hasn't been a waste of time in any way.

The drives you mean or the software?
The drives - including that shipped by Apple which is not
recommended - are standard USB drives.

Time for me to hunt - using google - for an external USB drive for
my new Mac Mini to enable me to fully utilise the instructions as
set out in the linked article.
