Folks,
I'm curious, I read here that at some point in the not to distant
future, the Open Office suite would be VoiceOver compliant. I looked
over the site and of course didn't see anything that stated this
clearly, but what I did notice is there's two versions for the Mac.
One being the X11 version which I do not expect to work and then the
Aqua version. Now, please excuse my ignorence, but I thought stuff
coded in Aqua was not as accessible as stuff coded in Coco, but maybe
that's cause I'm confusing the two different interfaces? Is Aqua a
part of Coco or do I even know what I'm babbling about?
Also, was there some specifics on VoiceOver or is that an assumption?
It would be nice if Apple could step up Iworks and make it fully
accessible and I have no doubt they are working the issue, but I
imagine we'll have to wait a spell for this to get done. So, maybe in
the short term, Open Office might be the way to go, but then maybe
not, I don't know. There are at least two options available at present
via Tables and Nisus Writer or even Text Edit. I just can't pull
myself off the fense yet to buy anything without waiting to see what
Apple plans to do with Iworks.
tnx
