Voice Over is not useless. In fact it has come a considerable way
since the days of 10.4 I constantly use my Mac, for e mail, surfing
the web, and most important of all at the moment, writing my
assignments. Voice Over is by far the most stable and responsive
Screen Reading solution i have ever used. But if you insist on
comparing the two, then i think the only true. comparison that can be
made is that they are both implemented into the operating system.
Just my thoughts

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.
