[Blindtlk] OS10 voice over compared to JAWS and other Screen Readers

[Mike Freeman]

Mary:

It very-much depends upon what you want the computer to do. Pay attention to
what Ray says: you can't directly compare the way software is implemented on
Apple machines with the ways we are used to doing things under windows.

The bottom line is what tasks you're trying to accomplish and whether
software under Windows or Apple's various operating systems accomplish said
tasks best for your situation. I still use (and chose to use) Windows-based
software in that many of my interactions involve others using such software.
But if that's not a constraint, you should definitely take Ray's advice and
look at (and, if possible) play with a Mac and listen to Mike arigo's
podcasts.

And I own, use and like and iPhone so the above is not an anti-Apple
diatribe.

Hello,

My husband wants to purchase an Apple computer. We both really like a lot
of its features. I am legally blind and have mostly depended on Zoom Text
Xtra or Magic and JAWS. In researching the Apple computers we have
discovered that it has a voice over program that works very similar to
JAWS. It even has a program that will enlarge the text on the page. Does
anyone have experiencing utilizing Apple's  voice over or text
magnification (enlargement) programs? Please give me any and all feedback.
Thank you,
Mari Hunziker
