I have an iPhone, a PC, and a Mac at home. The iPhone is great, but my PC is superior for complex Word editing. Voiceover can be conquered if you want to switch exclusively to the Mac, and if you don't require advanced editing, it'll be great. I don't think Voiceover on the Mac still rivals PC screen readers. To be fair JAWS 14 has come a very long way. My frustration decreased since version 13, but this also has to do with an overhaul of my computer system. That's another thing you don't have to worry about with the Mac. Bottom line, you'll do great with Voiceover, but if anyone likes JAWS, it's not out of the running yet, at least in my own personal opinion.--Joe

The Voice Over experience is reliable, consistent, user friendly and most of all a joy to use. I always felt that JAWS and I lived a love hate relationship together, Freedom Scientific loved to screw me over, over and over, and over again more, and probably would have continued to do so until I was bleeding to death from all the money that terribly flakey product cost me, and I, I was the hate part of the relationship. I hated being dependant on something which caused me stress, anxiety and misery. Apple's products do what you want, without fuss and without hassle.

First do any of you just use the Ipad as your main computer and if so what are the pros and cons? Also I like to download books from Bookshare to my Victor stream and I know the Ipad doesn't have a US port.Is there a work around for that? If anybody could give me feedback and let me know their experiences I would greatly appreciate any suggestions or comments.
