It is possible to use Kurzweil 1000 on a Mac. I do it all the time
using Fusion even have an icon on my dock for it.

Hi David and everyone else:
I think I could do most things on a Mac that I need to do so far,
especially referring to such a busy list and you guys are, but I'm
wondering is Text Editor can convert files to Microsoft word and if
there is a good scanning program out there that would let me scan
and read my printed material. I have Kurzweil 1000 and use it a
lot. Those are my only "problems" right now. I just want to surf
the net, read and answer my mail, write up my documents and save
them in the format that is required, and read my electronic books.
Oh, and I might like to burn the occasional CD.

sadly, at least with jaws, the only thing you can access with
safari is the
menus.
Of what problems do you speak?

Subject: Safari on my PC
Hi guys:
I still don't have a Mac, mostly because I can't afford it, but
mainly
because there still seems to be problems. Because I need Quicktime
to hear
some things on the internet, I've been allowing Apple to download
stuff onto
my Windows XP Pc. Of course I can't use Quicktime, but if something
needs
it, it's there. Just a while ago, it downloaded Safari. Out of
curiosity,
I wondered if any of it was accessible to any of the screenreaders
I have to
hand-Window-eyes, NVDA, or System Access to go. Interestingly
enough, I can
read the menus and even go to a web page, but it won't read the
page. I'm
assuming that sighted ones can use Safari on a Windows PC? Humm,
I wish I
could get Apple to donate some Mac Minis with Leopard to po' folks
like me!
(smile) My version of Window-eyes is 4.5 which shows you how far
behind I
am. Thank goodness for the free ones that are up-to-date. I've
got to
hunt down the "dualing" screenreaders.
Debra
P.s. For those of you that like to do these things, there's an
alternative for Microsoft Word called Atlantis Nova. It's the
first word
processor I've ever downloaded that makes noise! They are kind of
cute,
but you'd probably want to turn them off after a while.
