OK put this thread to bed. I know it will still be going on when I get up in the morning and if it is then I'll have to go up to the database before breakfast. A word to the wise. David Ferrin ow...@jaws-users.com I believe that tomorrow is another day, and I'll probably screw that one up too. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Trouble" <troub...@columbus.rr.com> To: <jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com> Sent: Tuesday, July 19, 2011 9:08 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] The JAWS program for the Mac
I switched most stuff over to my mac, because you don't have to set the op different. VoiceOver will run no matter how you have the op configured. Being built into the op lets it recover from speech crash just by turning it off and back on. no rebooting! Also here is the big plus. When the op is upgraded so is VoiceOver. So you get op and screen reader for around $30 a lot cheaper for something that works.
