I think the reason that VoiceOver is perceived by some as less powerful is because it is integrated into the OS. Because of this VoiceOver does not need to provide all kinds of services which Windows screen readers do. For example VoiceOver has no scripting language such as Jaws Script, it doesn't need one because the MacOS already has one called AppleScript in place.

As someone who uses both a mac and a pc, I would say that this is not true. While voiceover does interact with the operating system differently than windows screen readers do, it is not any less powerful. I have done 2 pod casts demonstrating the mac with voiceover, you can find them at www.blindcooltech.com.

Hi List,

I have very recently come across the VoiceOver screen reader which I  may
have to use for part time work purposes.  The very quick demo that I  had
impressed me greatly but all my mates use jaws with their pc, as I do. They all say that VoiceOver might be ok, but isn't anywhere as powerful and or
flexible as screen readers such as jaws.  Would be interested in your
opinions, especially you guys who are using VoiceOver for pro audio work.
Lookk forward to your comments
