Hello,
Thanks for the link.
If noone minds, below is the section regarding VoiceOver.
Dan
Universal Access
Alex — A New Voice
Give yourself a new voice. Meet Alex — a new English male voice that
uses advanced, patented Apple technologies to deliver natural
breathing and intonation, even at fast speaking rates.
Plug-and-Play Refreshable Braille Display Support
Quickly set up popular, refreshable Braille displays. VoiceOver
detects and configures as soon as you plug them in. No additional
software or setup is required.
Braille Output During OS Installation
For the first time ever on a desktop computer, you can use a Braille
display while installing or upgrading your operating system.
The Braille Panel
See a virtual Braille display — a visual representation of VoiceOver
Braille output onscreen along with an English text translation.
Customizable Braille Display Input Keys
Customize a Braille display more easily than ever before. Just choose
a VoiceOver command, then press and hold the input keys. A tone
sounds to let you know the command has been assigned successfully.
Contracted and Non-Contracted Braille
Output Braille in standard contracted format or non-contracted
“computer Braille.” VoiceOver automatically converts contracted
Braille under the cursor so it’s easier to edit, then contracts it
again when the cursor moves.
NumPad Commander
Control VoiceOver using only the numeric keypad just like JAWS and
Windows-Eyes. This makes it easier for screen reader users to switch
from a PC to a Mac and provides easy access to your favorite
VoiceOver commands.
Portable VoiceOver Preferences
Instantly reconfigure your VoiceOver preferences. Just plug in a
flash drive containing your preferences and Leopard instantly
reconfigures to work and act just like your Mac — without leaving a
trace when you leave.
Faster Web and Page Navigation
Quickly navigate long documents or web pages. Jump to key elements
like headers, tables, and links and by text attributes like
underlining, bold, italics, and color — even text phrases.
Hot Spots
Monitor up to ten different areas onscreen and be alerted when
there’s a change. Then jump directly to any hot spot to investigate
or take action.
Drag-and-Drop Support
Use drag-and-drop actions by keyboard only, in accessible applications.
Integrated Interactive Tutorial
Learn VoiceOver unassisted in a safe environment. A built-in tutorial
lets you practice as you learn.
Misspelled Word Detection
Hear when a word is misspelled while reading text. Choose a tone or a
spoken description.
Positional Audio Effects
Benefit from many new sound effects in VoiceOver. Audio cues provide
an improved sense of location.
Highlight by Word or Sentence
Set the VoiceOver cursor to highlight each word or sentence being
read as it is spoken.
New VoiceOver Utility
Customize VoiceOver more easily. A new VoiceOver Utility layout
includes many new options and preferences for customizing VoiceOver.
Improved Application Accessibility
Do more with VoiceOver. Bundled Leopard applications and utilities
have been enhanced for improved accessibility.
