Yes, and if you don't like the speech of NVDA, there's also Vocalizer Expressive voices you can get for it. That's what I'm currently using with NVDA and specifically I'm using the American Siri voice with it.

This nifty bit of software gives you first-letter navigation of your startup disks, and automatically prompts for one. When I used it, I could hit the power button, press W right after the chime, and Windows would boot. Or, I could press M, and Mac OS would boot. As to using Windows, I would personally dump Jaws - it's expensive and resource-hungry. Go to www.nvda-project.org and install NVDA, a free screen reader that does everything Jaws can in most situations. It handles MS Office, web browsing, and most everything else. The default speech takes getting used to, but it can be done, and eventually you may come to love that speech, as I do. NVDA has help documentation (NVDA key with N, arrow to help).

My question is how to select which system to run at start-up: Mac OSX or Windows. As of now, my sighted friend holds the OPTION key down when the computer starts up, in order to get the list of options. Is there anything I can do so that I will get an audio option prompting me with a list of options to select fom? Also, what key do you all use fas the INSERT key with JAWS? How can I check the battery status of my Mac while running Windows? And finallly, do you all have any tips that you can offer me to get strated with running Windows on my Mac? FYI, I am familiar with using JAWS, as I use to have a PC years ago. Thank you all for any tips you can offer! :-) Cheers, Ezzie -- Ezzy Ez Buenito http://www.sillyez.com (512) 553-8553 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
