Just a little tip. I've had folks who received a PDF I filled out with textEdit say that the stuff I filled out wouldn't print. Not sure why that was but I cheated and re-printed it to a PDF on my end and that seemed to fix it. To do that, even if you don't have a printer set up on the Mac,

There are several ways to go about it. When you're focused on a conversation in the message list, you can press VO-backslash or right-arrow to open it. I consider the arrow method to be less reliable, though. Then you can down-arrow through the messages in that conversation. You can also press

This is not the first device of the type. It may well be the smallest. I beta tested a similar device a few years ago to help assess how it might work for blind users. The problem with these devices and the blind is, these devices require exact tracking of each line of text. They also require

Actually, it would be much more difficult to focus than the iPhone. You need to know where each line of text starts, and you need to track each line precisely whilst keeping the text with as little skew as possible. If you think the iPhone is difficult for OCR, you would find this device
