Ari, I believe the BlindCoolTech.com site has quite a few podcasts on the iPhone and other Mac products too. There's even a series of podcasts on how to use VoiceOver on a Mac!

How usable and good is the IPhone for blind people? Our computer support guy in the disability unit wants to know how can a blind person use it because its touch screen? I always sort of regret that I could never really experience the Mac. I read the articles in the american blind magazines about how rubbish vo was, but thought they were doing it out of the interests of the people who make screen readers. When I was looking for a laptop for uni my brother and I went to an apple shop because I wanted to see it. I was really upset though because the salespeople weren't really bothered to help, they didn't even know what vo was, let alone how to put vo on for me to have a look and when we eventually got it on my brother and I basically didn't really know how to make it work. Plus I'd heard that there wasn't a good word processor that worked with vo, just the basic Apple one which apparrently doesn't let you do much to the documents to make them presentable enough.Ari ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq__________ Information from ESET Smart Security, version of virus signature database 4814 (20100128) __________The message was checked by ESET Smart Security. http://www.eset.com
