That doesn't make the whole screen reader as good as Window-Eyes, it just
means you can successfully browse the web.

Now try to create a Powerpoint presentation, or edit a spreadsheet.

All the best

Subject: Re: Considering VoiceOver

My experience with VoiceOver on the iPhone is just as good as with Win-Eyes.
I am able to switch from one App to another. I am able to use all the
navigation aids on a web page such as headings, lists, radio buttons. I am
able to navigate in a web page or a text document by character, word or by
lines. I am able to select text and copy it to the clipBoard just as in
Windows. I am not using a keyboard on my iPhone, just the settings using the
rotor.
