Hi,
A lot of you may already know me either personally or by reputation. I had
been a VP at Freedom Scientific up until four years ago and have been
consulting for many other AT organizations since. I write the
BlindConfidential blog (link below) and often appear as a talking head on
panel discussions and such.
For many years, I had been a Windows only person, now I use multiple
operating environments including Macintosh OSX Leopard. I've enjoyed the
Macintosh so much that it has become my primary computer for things like
email, writing and performing other tasks in OpenOffice and lots of other
cool stuff that you folks probably know much better than I do.
I have read the documentation for VoiceOver and a lot of the help files that
came with the Mac and various applications - obviously some are better than
others. Thus, I have a pile of what I think are newbie questions about
using Mac with VO. I've been using it with increasing success for about
five or six months now and keep getting better but I do find some things
frustrating, mostly because I cannot find solutions to my issues in the
documentation anywhere.
If you haven't read the BC blog lately, you might take a peak as it is
increasingly saying nice things about Apple and Macintosh and VoiceOver.
I've almost gone completely native but I still like some things about JAWS
and/or System Access on Windows and Orca on Ubuntu.
So, as a matter of etiquette on this list, should I post a laundry list of
questions about largely unrelated aspects of OSX with VO or should I put
them into separate messages to preserve thread continuity? I'll assume the
latter but wait to hear from a few of you to see if I might be wrong.
Happy Hacking,
