I had this very conversation with a counselor at our state agency
for the blind, and I even went as far as to show her what Leopard
will do with regard to braille, and though she wouldn't admit it to
her boss, I could tell she was thoroughly impressed with the
demonstration. If she becomes the new director of the Department
for the Blind, I will bend her ear until she "gets it." Richie

Yep totally agree Josh, and Apple has obviously put a lot more
work into VoiceOver than Microsoft has into Narrator. About the
only thing they changed about it in hte release of Vista, was the
voice. And the fact that Apple has included Braille support in
Leopard, really shows that they are committed to long-term
development of VoiceOver

But Voiceover has the same problem as Narrator has, although

better, it is unusable unless the app uses MAC standard as it were,

thing that saves the day a bit is that more mac apps do the
standard
thing than windows ones.
Apple plays up compatibility, particularly in accessibility, and
provides more robust tools to make apps accesible. I think Apple
has been far more pro-active about access standards than
Microsoft has. Even if apps followed Microsoft access standards,
Narrator would still be mostly useless. Comparing Narrator to
VoiceOver is like comparing cement to chocolate cake.
