To say that VoiceOver is useless is open to interpretation and skill
level. For example, I use VoiceOver for practically all my every-day
applications, including conducting my home businesses, and have no
problem taking of business. And when cross-platform games are
released, I will use the Mac for game playing as well. I have said
many times, there are many list members who use VoiceOver for
everyting under the sun, and are successful. So to say that VoiceOver
is useless--for whom? Please elaborate as to why you think VoiceOver
is useless. Richie Gardenhire, Anchorage, Alaska.

But Voiceover has the same problem as Narrator has, although somewhat
better, it is unusable unless the app uses MAC standard as it were,
and inevitably some apps won't do that for whatever reason. The only
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.
