 Hello Brad,
 I use a Mac.
 I used to use a pc but got tired of screen readers always 
playing games
 and always having to re-purchase everything when I needed a new 
machine
 every couple of years or so.
 I love apple devices because of the fact that the screen reading 
software
 is available pretty much right out of the box.
 I don't know if the mac has spellcheck built in to either Pages 
(Apple's
 version of MS Word) or for Text Edit, but I can find out.
 Amy

 Hi All,

 Been a while since I posted here.

 I wondered if anyone here, or any writer you might know of, is 
using a Mac
 wit Voice Over to do their writing.

 Jaws with Windows is good feedback on text editing, but frankly 
I'm tired
 of
 MS doing stuff like not spell checking documents properly, not 
saving the
 settings once fixed to check spelling, and the various Windows
 vulnerabilities.

 I'm not looking for a spell checker fix, been there, done that.

 I'd thought of a Mac, but not sure it gives ample feedback.  I 
use the
 text
 analyzer a lot with Jaws and if I need font feedback, it's 
available.

 Just wondered if anyone was a Mac user and if it was deemed 
suitable,
 efficient, and feedback informative.

 Brad Dunse
