re: Jaws and windows on the mac

[Nicholas Abrahamson]

I just have a 13 inch macbook with the standard video card that comes  
with it.  When I went under about this mac, and clicked more  
imformation, under audio it just says intell high graphics audio, so  
I'm doing a dangerous thing here, and assuming that that's my sound  
card, because I don't see a sound solection under more imformation.   
Still nothing else from freedom scientific and I called microsoft only  
to feel slightly like an idiot, because I realized I had no screen  
reader on the windowos side, and thus no  way to do any of the things  
they might possibly want me to do.  My only excuse is that I've gotten  
a little used to built in accessability from the mac, and when I  
switched to windows it took a second to realize that there was  
nothing.  What can I say, but that I was lacking coffee.  *smile*  I  
just can't help but think that there's an easier way to do what it is  
that I wanted windows for.  I wanted it to install Kurzweil 1000 so  
I'd have an OCR program that could also read BRF files, because I read  
a lot of stuff for school from webbraille and bookshare, so I thought  
that kurzweil'd be an easy fix.  Who was I kidding?  it involved  
windows, ofcourse it couldn't be easy.  Thanks for sharing your  
experiences with me.  I don't mean to ask a dumb question but what's  
system access?  How do it and NVDA work?  Are they relativly easy to  
figure out?  Is there something for the mac that would do OCR and or  
would be able to read BRF files?  Thanks again for sharing your  
experiences and I'll keep you updated on the ongoing windows saga.

Thanks,
Nick
