Here's my re-write: We first tried to learn to use vista, but it crashed so often, we couldn't use it so since we had to finish the article, we went out and spent 2,5 hundred dollars on a new fancy pc with a screen reader that we had to purchase separately. Our new pc is nice and fast but we can't access all the stuff on it with our most up to date screen reader and it's speech is fast but garbled. We concentrated on ITunes for which we had to buy scripts. Imagine that, a free program for which we had to buy scripts and they are not cheap. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike Arrigo" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "General discussions on all topics relating to the use of Mac OS Xby theblind" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, May 20, 2008 9:50 PM Subject: comments on voice over
Hi all. I'm not sure if anyone reads the access world magazine, produced by American foundation for the blind, but the newest issue has an article that mentions voice over. The article is about digital music players. In the article, the writer mentions using the mac, and says that voice over does not provide nearly the accessibility blind people are used to on windows computers. I personally disagree, and I've only had my mac for about two and a half weeks. If anyone is interested, here is the link for the article. http://www.afb.org/afbpress/pub.asp?DocID=aw090304
