Hello. About ten months ago, I was declared legally blind. I have been on the search for a full diagnosis and prognosis since. No luck.
In December, when my Windows 7 machine became totally unstable, and had been reformatted three times in less than a month, I bought a Mac. I figured, if I had to learn a screen reader, it was best to do so on one where the screen reader came built in. So far, no luck learning how to use the screen reader though. I can turn on and off. That's about it. I have a 40 page list of random commands, and can't figure out what any of the are supposed to do. A dictionary would help. Perhaps the lines above or below that don't make sense are supposed to tell me what they do? I used to be a web designer, and I thought a screen reader should be easy to learn to use. After all, I'm good with with computers. I'm also horrible with foreign languages, and figured braille would be impossible to learn. I started the first contracted braille book I'm reading last night. I started learning braille last November. I still use a Windows 7 computer at night. It takes about 15 minutes to turn on, and every scroll of the screen takes forever. I don't count on it for anything.
