can a person who has a mac use a flat bed scanner to scan printed materials?
I am aware that phones can scan documents. I have a lot of scanning

Whatever you choose to do, there are pros and cons, of course. If you switch
to a Mac, you will be learning a new operating system and a new screen
reader, and you'll have to allow time and effort for that. If you are up to
it, it has the potential of being very rewarding. There's also something to
be said for choosing what you know.
When I got my Mac, I considered very carefully that I'd have to "crawl"
before I could "walk". It took me about a month to get up to speed, but each
person's mileage will vary.
Remember that you can use your iDevice with either the Mac or PC. Good luck,
whatever you choose to do.

Hi, lets all disagree to agree. All devices have their benefits Tod I
have used both and know what can be accomplished with each.
If you choose pc it is all up to you. Some of us prefer mac and just like
you we also have a choice and therefore you shouldn't bash a device based
on your possible experience or none experience and only talk based on what
others say.
If you have worked with macs you should know they are better then many
things out there, and a screen reader comes included for the price.
Now with pc you have to pay the pc, a screen reader which in most cases is
over $1000 fee for starters and if you want to keep up to date you have to
pay every 2 year upgrades of over $400. Like I said it is all personal
choice and you chose pc that is fine, and some of us choose mac or even
both and it is fine too.

Sorry, Alex. You are mistaken this time.
I have been in the tech field for many years! Therefore, I have seen
enough of all!
Your statement below proves invalid.
I have not had any problems with PC at all.
You do not have enough proof to prove what you believe!
No arguments here.
Thanks.

There is a lot more to it than that, and your assertion that Mac
software is more expensive is simply not true. Pages, Keynote, and
Numbers are all free on new Macs, while it costs at least $100 (usually
more) for similar applications on Windows. The Mac includes the App
Store, so restoring apps to a new or freshly reformatted Mac is as easy
as signing in and choosing the apps you want to re-download. No codes,
license keys, activations, or anything like you deal with with paid
software on Windows. Also, VoiceOver on the Mac has never frozen on me,
and when it crashes (which is rare) it restarts itself and is talking
within five seconds. Windows screen readers all have stability problems
or other oddities that make them harder to deal with, and Windows itself
loves to lock up on me. On the Mac, even if an app freezes, VO simply
reports that app as "busy" and the rest of the system is unaffected,
whereas all of Windows locks up in a similar situation. Yes, Macs are
more expensive, but they last longer, are usually lighter and smaller,
and are upgraded longer. Plus, they tend to hold their resale value much
better than some Wal-Mart special laptop, so if you want to sell your
Macbook later you can probably get more for it.
I encourage you to visit www.applevis.com and go to the page for
new Mac users. I have a couple articles there about the pros and cons of
the Mac, getting started with basic apps, and so on, and others have
helpful articles and podcasts. This should help you get a better idea of
what is involved in switching. The Macvisionaries list
([email protected]) is a great resource, but be
warned that it is pretty high-traffic.
For the most part, Pages and MS Word are pretty compatible
nowadays, Complex formatting might not transfer well, but the basics
(fonts, margins, spacing, etc) should. This particular issue is not
specific to accessibility, though, so I'm sure plenty of articles are out
there that talk about it in detail.

Haya,
I remind you that there are PROS and CONS in both.
Neither can be perfect as you would like them to be.
Macs are popular here, but PC are still used. Macs cost even
more than PC does.
For software, PC has even more software for less money while
software for Mac are fewer and cost more.
For me, I would rather go for PC since I am most familiar with,
and it is by far easier to deal with. I care less about Macs. Not the
top priority..
The con for PC is, a lot of folks dislike Windows 8. I do not
bother that one; I go with Windows 7. That is it.

Hi folks,
I'm trying to decide whether I should get a Mac laptop or a pc.
I am fairly sure I want a Mac, but I want to know how well the
Mac can cope with a document that was written and formatted on a pc and
more importantly, vice versa. Macs are very uncommon here and I have to
be able to turn in homework for my university classes. Any info would be
greatly appreciated!
