I stumbled on one purely by accident yesterday whilst searching the Mac App Store, not really expecting to find any. The program is called Mudder. It has full VoiceOver accessibility, and can be set to speak all incoming text automatically using the system voice, and unlike some other clients I've tried it actually does this sensibly without interrupting itself. It currently costs $4.99. THere are some quirks with this early version, such as lack of support for a command history, and somewhat verbose labeling with VoiceOVer, but compared to the other options we have available this is leaps and bounds ahead. THe developer should be commended for being interested in supporting VO. I just thought I should pass this along, as I know this is a popular pastime among blind gamers who might be on this list.

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.
