Hi andy, A text file can be read with jaws,
A text file is the default file type for the windows notepad application, Very simple to use with Jaws but also word, or pretty much any notepad or word processing product iBooks is a very accessible app on the iPhone or iPad, I've not used it on the mac OS x operating system. -----Original Message----- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Andy Sent: Wednesday, 15 June 2016 8:31 PM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Looking for audio or even txt tutorials to get me started with VO and my new Mac Hi Paul. I'm currently using my Windows 7 computer to do all my mail and searching for information relating to the Mac. My new imac is just sitting there waiting for me to ge the confidence to get started. I've never used ibooks! Are they text files that I can download and read with JAWS or do you need some special equipment or be a member or subscribe to some agency? If I am able to simply download a free text document type book, then that would be fantastic and I'd appriciate any relevent website were I may find these books. Very best sishes. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul Mimms" <paul8...@gmail.com> To: <macvisionaries@googlegroups.com> Sent: Wednesday, June 15, 2016 2:07 AM Subject: Re: Looking for audio or even txt tutorials to get me started with VO and my new Mac > In iBooks, you might want to try searching for a book called mastering > the Macintosh computer with voiceover.
