Hi,
I personally think VoiceOver is a greater screen reader than for example, JAWS
for Windows, and much more intuitive. This is due to the fact that VoiceOver
teaches you how to use the operating system itself, and not on a basis of
scripts that will accomplish the same tasks but perhaps

Do you really? I think that's very interesting. When I first started using VO
in 2006, I found the Mac and VO to be far more intuitive than JFW and
I've always thought that VoiceOver was much more intuitive to understand and to
put into service much more quickly than jaws or even Window-Eyes which is, BTW
my fav windows screenreader.
