Speaking of Skype, I need to learn how to use it.
I have it on my laptop with Windows 7, Internet Explorer 11 and Jaws 15.
I need to be brought through the process in digestable steps. This would
really help with situations such as conference calls and other long distance
contacts I have.

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.

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.
