Hi John, I don't actually expect the Shredder Chess Mac applications to be accessible with VoiceOver in their current forms, and I haven't tried to install them myself. I rather expect that they won't be accessible, since Shredder had chess programs on many different computer platforms before they came out with their iOS app, and that wasn't accessible at the start.
However, I think that based on their experience with making their iOS app accessible, they might be able to rework their Mac apps, if there were sufficient demand. Apple provides a lot of information for developers on how to makes apps accessible on both the Mac and in iOS. Here's a good starting point link to point them to: https://developer.apple.com/technologies/mac/accessibility.html The other thing they can do is check the main Apple Developer Library Resources for the Mac at: https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/navigation/ Activate the link for "Guides", and then navigate to a link like • Accessibility Overview for OS X https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Accessibility/Conceptual/AccessibilityMacOSX/OSXAXIntro/OSXAXintro.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40001078 Some of these are really long URL links that may wrap in an email, which is why I also give the navigation instructions. As I said, I really don't expect the current versions of their Mac programs to be accessible, since they predate the iOS apps they brought out. If they knew about VoiceOver earlier, the iOS apps would have been accessible to start with. However, I think you have a good shot at getting them to make their Mac apps accessible with VoiceOver now, since they've had the experience of doing it for iOS, and have shown themselves to be responsive to these requests. HTH.
