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

[Ray Foret Jr]

No, indeed not; and, furthermore, I second everything Mike says.  that, mind you, is not because of his endorcement of what I said; rather, because it's really part of the same thing and an extention of what I myself said.  You may find that after your independant research, the Mac is for you; on the other hand, perhaps maybe not.  That's a judgement call you'll have to make.


Sincerely,
The Constantly Barefooted Ray!!!

Now a very proud and happy Mac user!!!
