Janet, With all due respect, VoiceOver is part of the operating system
on the Mac. This server you're talking about is for Windows-based
machines, only. And because VoiceOver is a fully-functioning, talking
interface for the Mac, there would be no need for web-based access for
it. In other words, if the library has a Mac, and a blind person
would want to use it, he/she can turn the talking interface on or off,
in order to get whatever information he/she needs from a public Mac.
I hoped that I have helped to explained the access difference between
Mac and Brand X, and how the two systems handle and process
information. Richie Gardenhire, Anchorage, Alaska.

It is a browser reader. For public access. Apparently one can read
email, look up bus schedules, or find the phone number for
restaurants, among other tasks, from a public computer like at the
library.
something different. I wasn't sure if folks on this list had heard
of it, so I just wanted to share it. I just heard about it myself.
just sharing. But you are right. It has nothing to do with Mac,
per se, unless the public computer is a Mac with the screen reader
turned off? Not sure how that'd work.

and you can't get there from here anyway. In other words, if it is
web
based and there is no screen reader on the system.....?

From what I have read, it only works on Windows-based machines. I
don't think it works on the Mac; at least, it didn't say it did.
