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.Greg Kearney On Aug 5, 2008, at 7:13 AM, n0oxy@xxxxxxxxxxx wrote: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.-----Original Message----- From: "jim mcauslan" <axdr89@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: macvoiceover@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: 08/05/2008 7:04 AM Subject: [macvoiceover] mac v. pc 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 hadimpressed 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 orflexible as screen readers such as jaws. Would be interested in youropinions, especially you guys who are using VoiceOver for pro audio work.Lookk forward to your comments Jim McAuslan from sunny FindhornClick on the link below to go to our homepage. http://www.icanworkthisthing.com Manage your subscription by using the web interface on the link below. //www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceover Users can subscribe to this list by sending email to macvoiceover-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'subscribe' in the Subject field OR by logging into the Web interface at //www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceoverClick on the link below to go to our homepage. http://www.icanworkthisthing.com Manage your subscription by using the web interface on the link below. //www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceover Users can subscribe to this list by sending email to macvoiceover-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'subscribe' in the Subject field OR by logging into the Web interface at //www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceoverClick on the link below to go to our homepage. http://www.icanworkthisthing.com Manage your subscription by using the web interface on the link below. //www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceoverUsers can subscribe to this list by sending email to macvoiceover-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'subscribe' in the Subject field OR by logging into the Web interface at //www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceoverNo virus found in this incoming message.Checked by AVG - http://www.avg.com Version: 8.0.138 / Virus Database: 270.5.12/1592 - Release Date: 05/08/2008 06:03
