Category: accessible Devices
Coming up this week in a specially extended Main Menu:
This may turn out to be one of the most significant developments of the year for blind computer users. Apple have recently released OSX 10.4 which includes
Voice Over, a screen access tool for users of the Apple Mac.
We talk with Jerry Halatyn from new York who is an experienced professional Mac user and beta tester of the software. Jerry tells us about Voice Over, how
it works, and why for the first time in years, the blind community may want to seriously consider Apple as a genuinely accessible alternative.
Following the interview, Jerry takes us on a whistle stop tour around OSX 10.4 and for the first time on ACB Radio, Voice Over.
Main Menu is first heard on Wednesday at 1UTC, that is Tuesday evening in the US at 9PM Eastern 6 Pacific. The show is available for the next week from
the ACB Radio Replay page and as part of the Wednesday podcast, before making it's way into our on-demand archives.
Many thanks.
