I actually do the majority of my web browsing in Firefox with JAWS running as a virtual machine on my Mac. Just to clarify though, I'm not actually writing on this topic, just would like to give a reference to an article on the topic as part of the article that I am writing on my mission to find a good word processor.

The differences in how material is presented on the screen by a probram such as Jaws vs voice-over has me really pretty well stumped. Case in point, there is a grocery-store website, (kingsoopers.com) that I regularly peruse with my PC. I usually view items in categories, ad them to my list and keep browsing. I tried using my macbook pro with vo for this task yesterday and gave up completely in frustration. I couldn't get signed in, couldn't get the categories to read properly, nor could I get the computer to even stay in the site I was trying to work on. Then if I selected an item to add to the list, I was taken back to the beginning of the website. Or getting hung up in "Safari busy,... busy ... busy ..."Now, I'm not writing simply to whine, though it feels that way. What I'm expressing is that what is for some a very simple transition has for me been a love/hate relationship. And while I get lots of information tidbits, from very gracious folks who are successfully doing the Mac thing, somehow they're not assimilating into an understanding of how VO presents info and how best to interact with it. I've always been someone who could pretty much figure things out, but this computer and transition from windows with Jaws to Snowleopard and VO has me feeling very humbled. Anyway, thanks for reading. Carolyn Haas ch:)On Feb 21, 2010, at 12:12 PM, E.J.
