I usually like your podcasts and I find your explanations and demos very interesting. But, in this case, I disagree with you. I am not interested in making comparisons between various screen readers, but I prefer a task-related point of view. In other words, the questions I ask to myself wen I am testing a new work environment, is: Can I do the same things I was used to do with the old tools, even if in a different way? And then, is the new way more or less efficient? Is it possible for me, after an appropriate treating period, to accomplish the same work in the same given time using the new operating set and the new assistive technology? Let me say, I love Apple's operating system and I think Voice Over is an awesome accomplishment. But, when it comes to MacOSX Voice Over implementation, in my Humble opinion, there are many many things VO should do better. First of all, Braille implementation is… less then insufficient. After two years, what Braille support under MacOSX Voice Over does, is a poor TTS mirroring. Advanced word processing is another huge problem. How can I work easily with tables, nested lists, end notes, footnotes, headings? Spreadsheets is the same thing. Ok, I can populate a spreadsheet, but when it comes to work with merged cells, formulas, graphics and all that sort of stuff, well, there is a problem, and it is not a very very little problem. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
