Actually, I guess I sort of fall into that category. I have tremors that come and go, and I use voiceover for the additional control you gain when just navigating only with the keyboard instead of the mouse when I can't fiddle around with the mouse settings enough to massively turn down the resolution (this is why I love my gaming mice..). There's no software-based way to "even out" the tremor on Mac OS X, shame. I use the keyboard a lot, but some things just sort of "need" a mouse, and voiceover takes care of that need. For everything else, there's quicksilver.
Other than that, it's because I do a bit of computer work and tutoring for visually disabled people, and I like to introduce them to a world other than jaws+windows. And I do a bit of web development and app development (newbie at mac dev though), so it really can't hurt. plus there's those times when you want to use the laptop but without bothering someone else, like on an airplane. So it comes in real handy, no reason not to use it :) cheers, jane On 10/7/07, Ricky Buchanan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > 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.
