My experience on the windows side is dismal. They go around to education departments and sell their software and of coursce, since it is cheap, they love it. Unfortunately, it falls short of being able to meet real needs.
If their windows products are any indication, I don't hold out much hope of their products working with VoiceOver because most if not all of them are self voicing. This is not necessarily a bad thing in and of its self, but it means for windows users that they have to learn whole new interfaces instead of using their screen readers of choice. Their strategy of capturing information just for a 25 use demo is so they can bother you and use you in their statistics. They make false claims about their products and are rude and pushy. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Esther" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "General discussions on all topics relating to the use of Mac OS X by theblind" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, September 17, 2008 4:25 PM Subject: Re: Mac Software Hi John, Your post on Premier Literacy was interesting, but you didn't give a web site. http://www.readingmadeez.com/products/lpp.html While a few of the products in the package looked interesting, like PDF Magic Pro, which is supposed to turn inaccesible PDF files into converted, accessible formats, automatically removing encryption, and retaining full page formatting, there seems to be relatively little detail at the web site. They do claim to offer free trials (25 accesses) if you fill out a personal information form. Does anyone have any experience with this company, perhaps on the Windows side, since most of their products previously seem geared for that? And to get around the post length limitation, I'll give a link to their web page announcement: http://www.applelinks.com/index.php/print/21257/ Cheers, Esther On Sep 17, 2008, at 9:10 AM, John Panarese wrote: > Hi folks, > I'm trying this again, as the message size seemed to cause a > rejection.
