It’s not up to Apple to code apps for Voice Over. That’s up to the app

only one thing I would add here - read the fusion help system voraciously
before doing anything. It always helps to hear what the manufacturer has to say
about the matter.

Hello.
The list provided on Apple's website contains just a few of the apps that are
accessible.
Most apps, though not listed on Apple's website, will be accessible fully are
partially.
This applies even to ios apps. Microsoft office for Mac is not accessible.
However, there is an alternative
Hey Nicholas,
Thanks. I think the Bose are kind of expensive, but maybe you pay for what you
spend which could be why the Plantronic keeps cutting in and out with Downcast.
When you get a chance please do let me know the other pair that works with the
controls, as those do sound interesting to

Hello everyone,
I am wondering if it is possible to use a querty BrailleNote Apex as a

equipment to take extensive notes at lectures. Here are my questions:

An ISO is a type of disc image that a CD or DVD is made from. Some applications
allow you to mount them directly without burning them to a disc. Many websites

Hello Mike.
As far as I know, you can’t use the qwerty Apex to do all voice Over commands.
Last year, my employer purchased the Apex Braille keyboard for me as I did ask
if the qwerty keyboard could do Voice Over commands. Human Ware said that the
qwerty Apex was not as good as the braille
Hello Kawal,
I really appreciate your response. I guess I could always just buy an Apple
keyboard and do without Braille for these editing sessions. Obviously, I will
contact Humanware to see if the querty Apex can now be used in the situation I
described. They did release a new version of
hi. i’ve been wondering about this for awhile. in the Quick Tasks Window i find
what VO says is two buttons labeled “convert to text”. I’ve tried both of them,
and the default extension to save to is rtf. I’m just curious if VO is reading
these wrong or if there’s a difference between them.
Hello Teresa,
Both buttons do the same thing, but one is an image and the other one text.
Cheers,
Anne

Hey Kaitlyn. When I installed Windows 7 onto my Mac, I just told Fusion
to use the Iso file that was located in my downloads folder. So the
answer to your question is no, you don't have to burn it onto a DVD.

Hi,
I assume you get the .iso from microsoft as they appear to be free downloads.
Do you need some sort of authorization key to activate it? If so, where can I
locate it. I still have a pc running windows 7.

I had not heard of MS giving out ISO images. Would have been nice to
know. From my reading of various forums and such I needed to purchase a
full Windows 8.1 installer to make a virtual machine and that meant
buying what they call a System Builder OEM disk. I ended up purchasing
an actual DVD

Generally if an application uses standard controls they inherit most of
the accessibility so that a button will identify itself as a button and
and be operable though assistive technology. The developer would need to
provide a label to describe the button but everything else is already

It has been a while since I have done it, but during the ISO process,

certainly doesn't cut out. They're really comfortable
