[stylist] I-Pad VS Tablet Wondering if anyone knows

[Bridgit Kuenning-Pollpeter]

I have not played with a Windows tablet but heard the same. And do you have to install JAWS on a Windows tablet? Whereas the IPad has built-in voice-over. I will say that with my IPhone and IPad, I have found very little inaccessible. Whether or not I understand how to operate is another case, ha-ha!

I believe, and this is only personal opinion, that the iPad is much more accessible for the blind than a Windows tablet. It seems to me that Windows tablet accessibility is much more bolted on, whereas the iPad’s accessibility seems built in from the ground up. I think Windows has a long way to go before it can be considered as a viable option for productivity. 
Hope that helps and feel free to write with questions.

I don't meant the technical difference. I mean why one is easier, better, whatever than another for different people's preferences. Either way I am not at all in love with the touch screen for typing so I'll use a wireless keyboard for heavy typing. The comp instructor we're working with thinks that I device are generally easier to use for the blind. Not a computer, he likes windows for that, but for generally smaller device, but I wasn't' sure what made it different and wanted other people's thoughts.
