This probably isn't what you're looking for, but I'm a sighted web
developer who tries to test my work with VoiceOver as part of general
accessibility testing. Now VoiceOver and Safari aren't as powerful a
combination for web browsing as, say, Window-Eyes and Firefox, and it's
more crucial that websites work with more popular screen readers like
JAWS, so testing with VoiceOver can't replace other screen reader
testing. But because VoiceOver is free, tightly integrated into my
operating system, easy to learn, and convenient to switch on and off,
it's ideal for quick tests. And it's nice to know that such testing
benefits other Mac users :).
A developer I know was able to use his Mac with VoiceOver while he had a
problem with his monitor, so I guess that's another advantage.

I would like to do an article for my ATMac blog about users of VoiceOver
who are not blind but use VoiceOver for other reasons. I know we have
Greg here, and I seem to remember at least one message about a user with
parkinsonian tremors or similar? Does anybody know of others?
For sighted VoiceOver users who are interested in such an article, a few
sentences about the ways VoiceOver helps you and why it's better than
other solutions would be greatly appreciated.
