[gui-talk] Voiceover

[Mike Arrigo]

Hi, it's definitely ready for prime time, and is used by many blind  
users, I'm using it as I type this message. As far as advantages and  
disadvantages, the main advantage is that it is built in to the  
ooperating system, as a blind person, you pay no more than anyone else  
for accessibility. There are of course differences with the mac  
compared to windows, so there is a bit of a learning curve at first,  
the only other possible disadvantage I could see for some people is  
that on web pages, there is no table navigation mode. I don't see this  
as a big thing, since I never use this even in windows. The macintosh  
has become my primary computer, and I use it far more than windows. I  
would put the functionality of voice over against the windows screen  
readers any day, you can do just as much I think.
