I am attending a work-related conference, and someone just asked me if there is a Jaws program, or equivalent, for Macintosh computers? I told them that I didn't think so, but I suspect someone on here would know for sure. The person who asked me has a relative who is a Mac user, and is loosing his/her sight, so is starting to wonder about speech screen reading software that might be useful. I'm at this conference for the next ffew days, so if anyone has any info, I'll be able to pass it along to the person asking the question. Thanks as always!
