At the same time, users coming from a windows centric world view only
know of Narrator as a built in screen reader so they come to the Mac and
VoiceOver with some (bad) assumptions. Obviously Narrator isn't in the
same league as VO and is mainly used to get going enough to launch your
real screen reader. So I can understand why folks might be a little
concerned with depending on the free built-in screen reader on the Mac.
They've been trained to have very low expectations.

What ever! I am using the mac exclusively at this point, and it's
beyond jaws and windows standards.

Subject: [nabs-l] Mac and VoiceOver
I'm considering buying a macbook and am looking for opinions on its
usability for a totally blind user. I realize that Mac OS has a
built-in screen reader, but quick google searches aren't providing
much more information than the fact that VoiceOver exists and that it
seems to be a fairly impressive product. This is fine, but I'd like
more detail on it's day-to-day usage, preferably from users or
students who have made the switch from Windows and Jaws to using a
macbook for their everyday computer use. All in all, what I'm trying
to figure out is If it's worth seriously considering and making a
switch, Or is it still a toy, impressive but still not up to Jaws and
windows standards? Feel free to write me on or off list with any
comments or thoughts.
