Hi,
I've never used windows, but honestly, I find voiceover just as
efficiant, as say, a braillenote. Once you get the hang of it,
you won't be slower, at all. I can't speak about Mac and
Windows.

Good afternoon Apple converts and experts,
I'm seeking opinions and answers please.
Using VO, do you find that you can carry out tasks as quickly
and efficiently as you used to do using one of the main Windows'
screen readers? This is what really worries me if I'm to commit
to a switch and not the learning curve.
There's no question that there is a lot to learn but I found VO
to be more efficient, intuitive and ultimately easier than I ever
found JFW. I cannot speak about other Windows screen readers as
I have no experience of them.
What do you miss most, if any, about using a Windows system?
I do not miss anything about the widows environment using a
screen reader.
How can you configure VO to automatically switch languages as it
does on iOs devices? I was testing VO on my son's MacBook Pro and
for some reason VO wasn't automatically switching languages on
webpages. Or have I got this wrong and VO on the Mac can't do
this?
This is not an area in which I have either experience or an
answer.
It'll be great if we can have an informative discussion about
these points to help us Applephobics to get over our fears
*smile* . Links to articles and websites about these points are
welcomed too.
