it should better be a debate.
there is No reason why windows would be favoured above apple.
Apple has the possibilaty to run windows on its machine, therefor its a
great alternative.
windows cannot do that, and the price windows pc with screanreader is also
no good, so Apple has to be mentioned when it comes to choices!

Hi:
Good for you! I'm a Mac user as well, and I too feel rehab agencies need to
present both options, and let the consumer make up their own mind. The only
program I'd ever need to use on the Windows side of things is Kurzweil.

I am a very knew Mac user and feel that our state rehab departments are

states have all the money to give there blind consumers all this adaptive
technology while in school. However, after school, blind individuals
struggle to keep their equipment up to date. I am trying to write a
letter about the mac for blind consumers instead of jaws on a windows pc.
I wanted to make the case that the states should not be so geared to
window based machines for there blind consumers. I just don't no enough
about OCR solutions for the Mac like we have Kurzweil1000 for windows.
Also I am not sure about the braille translation programs for the macs as
we have mega dots or Duxbury for the windows computers. Also, we use
victor streams, eclipse reders and for our textbooks so if there is a Mac
equivalent, I wanted to know about it. I am trying to convince our rehab
department that they need to show both options to their consumers. I plan
on submitting my letter at the end of the week to are rehab department.
Thank you, Heather
