I understand that the operating systems are different, but I always try to look for similarities to make the learning curve a little easier.

With or without a touchscreen, the Mac is a completely different experience than an iPad. - Brad - On Dec 7, 2021, at 13:14, Rebecca Skipper <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > wrote: If Apple added touch screens to Macs, there would be no point in having an iPad. JAWS is a keyboard first option. I’ve never found touch screens to be very efficient outside IOS.

I think JAWS will recognize mouse movements, but this is no where near the Mac’s trackpad commander. There is also touch support available (with various gestures depending on the screen reader used), if you have a Windows device with a touch screen. I have a laptop that is capable of it, but I almost never use the touch input feature. As I recall, one of Apple's arguments for not adding touch screen input to Mac devices is that it's generally inconvenient to be touching a laptop-style, vertically oriented display frequently. I can agree with that, but, then, I'm faster with a keyboard anyway. Apple also offers the ability to use an iPad as an additional display for a Mac - I don't know how accessible this is with VoiceOver, as my iPad is too old for it. -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
