Question: the quickest way to use the NVDA screen reader on my Mac

2013-11-27 Thread Parham Doustdar
Hi all,

The NVDA screen reader reads Farsi text. Since I need to read Farsi text now 
and then, I”m looking for the quickest way to run NVDA under Mac. I hear that 
Parallel Desktops allows running Windows applications under Mac, but I feel 
(based on previous experience using Wine) that this will cause problems with 
NVDA.

What I want to avoid is constantly waiting for Windows virtual machine to boot 
before I can read Farsi.

Thanks.

No such animal exists. Because virtual machines run entirely under 
software it all depends on how fast your ram and processor is to 
determine how fast a virtual machine can run. You are better off looking 
into Bootcamp. Then that way you can run the other operating system 
natively without waiting for any kind of virtual machine to boot up.

Hi Chris,

What I mean by “quickest” is the quickest to switch to. If I use Bootcamp, I’d 
have to reboot, read the text, reboot again, and re-launch the apps I had open 
before rebooting.

With a VM, at least I wouldn’t lose open applications and wouldn’t have to 
reboot twice. :)

VMWare Fusion is therefore your only accessible option as Parallels does not
provide accessible support.

I actually never use Boot Camp now as Fusion is so much quicker and
convenient.

I've used NVDA with Virtualbox (free) in the past.  I recall it required 
some key remapping.


If I get a chance, I'll try it out again today.

 Agree. fusion  is your only option, and it’s quite good, and very very 
 accessible.  and the clipboards are interchangeable, meaning you can copy 
 your text to the clip board from one os to another with out loosing changes. 
 
 Take care.

 Hi Chris,
 
 What I mean by “quickest” is the quickest to switch to. If I use Bootcamp, 
 I’d have to reboot, read the text, reboot again, and re-launch the apps I 
 had open before rebooting.
 
 With a VM, at least I wouldn’t lose open applications and wouldn’t have to 
 reboot twice. :)

 No such animal exists. Because virtual machines run entirely under 
 software it all depends on how fast your ram and processor is to determine 
 how fast a virtual machine can run. You are better off looking into 
 Bootcamp. Then that way you can run the other operating system natively 
 without waiting for any kind of virtual machine to boot up.

 Hi all,
 
 The NVDA screen reader reads Farsi text. Since I need to read Farsi text 
 now and then, I”m looking for the quickest way to run NVDA under Mac. I 
 hear that Parallel Desktops allows running Windows applications under 
 Mac, but I feel (based on previous experience using Wine) that this will 
 cause problems with NVDA.
 
 What I want to avoid is constantly waiting for Windows virtual machine to 
 boot before I can read Farsi.
 
 Thanks.
