Hi everybody,
as we are getting closer to a usable state of our work on supporting
the Accessibility API on the Mac-Aqua-Port, we are wondering which
assistive applications are used out there.
Is VoiceOver the only screen reader that is really used on the Mac?
Or are there other screen readers we should test with?
And what about tools like iListen or Dragon NaturallySpeaking?
Any feedback is appreciated.
The onscreen keyboard is used widely by people with my condition. I am
managing without that yet.
But I do use TextExpander. While able people use that to save time or
typos anyway, it's an excellent accessibility tool for people who have
difficulty typing or other motion issues.
The accessibility of keyboard shortcuts is also a key (sic) issue:
• how reliable are they?
• do they conflict with common Mac OSX shortcuts?
• can common actions and sequences of actions be accomplished
entirely from the keyboard?
I ask this because i have difficulty controlling the mouse.
I know of people who use iListen, and others who use Dragon. I also
use Keyboard Maestro a lot, for keyboard control.
Another thing I use myself is the ability of my MacBook to respond to
light and movement (inbuilt sensors), via Lilt:
